Anyone, please advise if this is not correct, but the consensus I have to date is that the SAC contingent is headed to a new site called KOFA. It is WAY west, about 100 miles west of Phx, off of Vicksburg Rd. Here are the directions as per Steve Coe's Email about 2 months ago.... Drive West out I-10 to the Vicksburg Rd. Exit. That is exit 45, which means it is about 100 miles from central Phoenix. Turn left (south) for 5 miles on a good, graded dirt road. After five miles you will see a fence and a cattle guard with a sign that says you are enterring the KOFA wilderness. BEFORE you cross the cattle guard, take a right (west) which is just a jeep trail that is used to keep the fence repaired. After about 300 yards off the dirt road is a large open area where 25 vehicles and people can set up with plenty of room. There is also some overflow area on the other side of the road. C-Ya there, hopefully under a hailstorm of meteors........ Thad --- This message is from the AZ-Observing mailing list.
