Not that it's helpful now, but for future reference - there's a road on Hwy 93 just north of Wickenburg with a gas station/Jack in the Box that would have been useful....I think it's Vulture Mine Road. If memory serves me correctly, taking this road out of Wickenburg is a slow, winding affair down the hillsides but it eventually comes out to recognizable civilization just north of the Flatiron observing site. -----Original Message----- From: az-observing-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:az-observing-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of stevecoe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Saturday, February 14, 2009 9:16 PM To: az-observing@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [AZ-Observing] Re: Weird reason to NOT go out to Saddle Mt. Well, Ken, the party has obviously spilled out into the street. I did enjoy staying home and watching the Spiderman DVD I bought, but it was not my first choice. It has cleared out here at 9 PM, I hope that somebody went out observing and had a good time. Steve Coe > Ahhh.....
