Bill, I was at the freeway turnoff from I-10 that leads to the site this
morning. (There was an asteroid occultation that was predicted to happen
there at 5:33 this morning. Although I had a clear view of the star there
was a negative occultation.)
Anyway, the point is I have a Qwest cellphone also, that showed the
"roaming" sign from there. Can't speak for the actual observing site,
though, as my location was a couple hundred yards south-west of the freeway
near exit 81. Just FYI, my Qwest cellphone doesn't work from FJ or Vekol
either.

stove to heat up a can of stew or soup. We do ask that you don't run the
burner at night so folks can keep their night vision. During the day, I
chat with other folks, read a book or try and nap. I have a new tent that
does a good job of providing shelter. On Sunday I might drive into Gila
Bend for a bag of ice and a hot meal.

This is why we enjoyed having a porta potty at the site for the big star
party last year. With all the road work going on at the railroad tracks
maybe we can drive up and use one of toilets meant for the workers. Bring
your hard hat.
