Yes, I'm still heading that way. I plan to bring plenty of ice/ice-water
and a few tarps to rig some shade. Easily survivable - besides, I "NEED" a
two-nighter. Quality seeing or not. Per Dick's report.the numbers don't
bode well but the numbers have been proven wrong at this site on more than
one occasion. At the very least, I'll have some quality time to relax and
read.
I will attempt to score a nap (I love naps) prior to my departure. Planning
to arrive at Antennas around 6:30pm or 7:00pm.at the very least sometime
before sunset.

Despite the 22%-36% forecast is anyone mad enough to head for Antenna?
Chris are you persevering out there???
Thanks Richard.

I can appreciate your photon deprivation syndrome-I've got it too. But
checking the digital weather forecast for the sites is not encouraging:
Five Mile Meadow-next 48 hours, 52% sky cover up to 100%, high chance of
rain, and during the night, the dry bulb and dew point will be
equal-translation, heavy, heavy dewing! Also cool (36 deg to 63 deg).
Antennas-68F (night) to 100F (daytime); sky cover from 22% to 36%.
Sentinel-72F to 100F, sky cover from 21% to 38%.
The daytimes in the two desert sites will be brutal but survivable, but the
skies don't seem all that great to me.
I'm staying put in town at least until Monday afternoon. I'll check the 5MM
forecast again then, see if the picture improves any.

Seeing the sun today has me pondering the absurd. Per the NWS, it appears
Cherry & 5MM will be experiencing on & off cloudy weather with rain chances
for the next few days. However, the Hovatter Rd and Sentinel sites should
be clearing up. The CSC seems to indicate that these are the two best
options. That said, I'm thinking about heading out to the Antennas site,
possibly for tonight and tomorrow night. Crazy? Absolutely. But at this
point, I need some photons.
Anyone else up for this?
Anyone have a better idea?
