I'll add my thanks from down south to David, Jan, Steve, and Rosie. I guess
I'll cancel my ark rental and go back to the camper.

Thanks to David, Jan, Steve and Rosie for the quick response, not the
ention how well the roads are. In the past Ray Farnsworth has said he
raded the roads before the AAMM to make sure they were passable. I'll be
ure to ask him this Saturday. How lucky we are to have someone like him.
e should all try to thank him when possible.
Looking forward to a great observing weekend and a great AAMM.

osie and I are back, too. I concur with David, the roads are great. The
sual bad spots are no worse than I've ever seen them, and completely
assable. There was one spot north of Silver Bells Estates that had water
n the road in a dip, but nothing too dramatic. I was suprised how good the
oad between the firlds and viewing area was! Seems the rain actually
elped that situation.
So, it should be great!

The main dirt road is in EXCELLENT condition. I think it was freshly
graded
too.
This will be one of your "smoothest" in and outs from that location.
The short access road from the farmhouse to the viewing area was also in
EXCELLENT condition.
Even the end area between the cultivated field, and the viewing area was
good.
The viewing area is dry, and packed. NO MUD! We drove around the field
area,
and hardly even left a track.
