A year and a half or so ago, someone on the list (Wil Milan?) collected the
coordinates of many of the local observing sites. Below is my accumulation
of the associated traffic. It looks better with a fixed pitch font.

Here is a list of the sites I've recorded. I've already sent it to Wil.

I dug out the coordinates of the Sun Glow ranch I took last October. They
are for the small artificial fountain in the middle of the 'U' shaped
configuration of rooms. I had my GPS receiver with me and took the
coordinates just for something to do during the day. They are:
N 31 51' 02.0"; W 109 25' 19.0"
Palominas Observatory (925)
110d 08m 28s W
31d 24m 02s N
Vekol Deep Sky Site
Coordinates are NAD27 CONUS
N 32deg 47min 54.2sec
W 112deg 15min 13.8sec
Arizona City Observing Site N 32 27.688 W 111 43.829

Although Lowell's Anderson Mesa site is on Tom's AZ site page, here are
the specs specifically for the 31-inch telescope, which is about 150 meters
from the publically-accessible turnout, frequently used by local amateurs:
long = 111d32'09".0
lat = +35d05'54".6
elev = 2208 meters
