Brian is right. The last time I looked, Sentinel was in Maricopa county - but just barely. If memory serves me correctly (and as of late it isn't doing too well :-) you don't have to drive too much further west of Sentinel on I-8 before you are in Yuma County. If it's really going to be in Yuma County, and close to I-8 for access to a major transportation route, both truck and railway (remember the railroad tracks next to I-8) then it could end up close enough to Sentinel to be a problem for astronomical endeavors. Additionally, I suspect that Yuma residents would want it as far away from their residential neighborhoods as possible. /Bob ---------- Original Message ---------------------------------- From: "Workman, Brian (AZ76)" <brian.workman@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Reply-To: az-observing@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Date: Fri, 31 Oct 2003 10:10:05 -0700 >Except that it explicitly says "Yuma County".
