I am thinking about my first trip to Cherry Rd this weekend. Sounds cooler
than Picket Post or Antennaes.
Coming from the east valley, it will be about a two hour drive, so I would
prefer to sleep over.
I know the area, but have never been down the road to the site. So, I am
wondering the following.
Is camping permitted in the area ? Just car camping for me.
Will it be a zoo with non astronomy campers for the July 4th weekend ?
Are others planning to be there ?
Thanks in advance for any comments or recommendations,
Brad Geisler

It's also still Exit 278! Can someone update the directions on the SAC
website?
