Howdy all;
I know that the server was down for a while, this message should test that.
I have had a sick couple of days and to be honest I just don't know if I have
it within me to go scoping tomorrow. However, it does seem that several folks
are looking to head out for Cherry Road on Saturday night. If so, leave by
5:30 or so, that way you can get a good spot and enjoy the night.
If the "az observing" server is back up and you get this message twice, I
apologize. If it is not, then use the "reply to all" button and we can still
hold this conversation among the usual gang.
Directions to the Cherry Road West observing site
Take I-17 north for about 70 miles from Phoenix. Take the Cherry Road exit and
turn left (west) over the freeway. This is also Hwy. 169. Go west about 5
miles, just beyond mile marker 10. There is a sign which says "Cherry 6", at
the sign turn left (south). Note: this is the opposite way that the arrow on
the sign points. You will be on a pretty well-maintained dirt road. However,
there are some natural speed bumps, so drive slow. The site is located 5/10 of
a mile south of the hard surface of Cherry Road. The observing field is on the
right, through a gate. Please keep this cattle gate closed if you are the last
to leave.
Clear Skies, whether I am there or not;
Steve Coe
