Michael,
The coordinates I use with my EQ mount are 33*15' N and 111*10' W which puts he
location 5' east of the one shown on your map. If you use the - (minus) button
on the google map and zoom out you'll eventually see Boyce Thompson Arboretum
designated. Picket Post is slightly before you get to Boyce. It's not marked
on the map. If you head out 60 toward Superior the turn off for Picket Post is
approximately half way between mile posts 221 and 222 on the right side of the
road.
Bob

Hi all,
Can someone who is familiar with Pickepost take a look at view linked
below and tell me if the green arrow points to the correct parking area?
I got the coordinates from the EVAC website, but the associated map on
that page does not correlate with the what I'm seeing on Google Maps.

I'm asking because a visitor from the Midwest has inquired about a
relatively dark site east of town.
Thanks,
