Tom; Repairing the road is going to be part of this trip. I plan to take a little shovel and I know that other people are planning on other tools. In the past the washes to get back to the observing site at Sentinel are not badly eroded enough that they are impossible to cross, just take your time. We also need a small chain saw to prune a couple of trees that grow out over the road. I have some pruning shears, but palo verde trees are tough. We can exercise off some of that Christmas dinner; Steve stevecoe@xxxxxxxxx Author: Deep Sky Observing--The Astronomical Tourist Saguaro Astronomy Club web site: www.saguaroastro.org -- See message header for info on list archives or unsubscribing, and please send personal replies to the author, not the list.
