Distances to observing sites (straight-line from downtown Phoenix):
Dark Drive
Site Dist Dist Dist Direction
Antennae 89mi 79mi 91mi W
5mi Meadow 98mi 73mi 144mi N
Sentinel 77mi 67mi 99mi SW
Cherry Rd 75mi 55mi 84mi N
Flatiron 48mi 38mi 60mi WNW
Vekol Rd 47mi 37mi 68mi S
Boyce Thomp 55mi 33mi 62mi E
Stone Haven 35mi 25mi 48mi S
Dark distance measured from 101 and 202 freeways, except the Carefree
Highway was used for sites to the north.
Drive distance is from the I-10/I-17 interchange ("the Stack"). Mile
posts 142/200 respectively.
The distance for 5mi Meadow is estimated, has anyone recorded the actual
distances? If Stoneman Lake Rd were passable, it would only reduce the
mileage by 8 to 12 miles (the greater savings if you approached the site
directly from Happy Jack).
Please post if you have more accurate driving distances.
