Navigation Arrow: St. George
by Ed 30 Aug '13

Hi Dave, Those are great pictures of the St. George arrow. What a spot, right on a cliff edge! Thank you for sharing. I wondered why there seem to be duplicates of many of the shots, but maybe you shoot multiples to ensure you get at least one perfect image. Anyway... I noticed that you had two that were not quite duplicates that made a very good stereo pair. I hope you don't mind, but I put them together as a stereo pair that you can view by the cross-eyed method. I sent that paired image to you off list so you can add it to the set for others to enjoy.

Patrick, No problem. Give the bulb to the Wendover museum or to Brent if the museum doesn't want to display it. I just didn't want to see it go in the trash.

The sun today
by Chuck Hards 28 Aug '13

28 Aug '13

The clouds parted this afternoon so I grabbed the PST for a quick look. A nice active sun with prominences around most of the limb. I didn't have time to set up the GEM and a better camera, but grabbed this *hand-held cellphone* shot. Might try it again in coming days with a better camera if I have a couple of hours that coincide with blue skies. http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii24/JethroTull1958/ATM/Astro/Sun8282013…

Brent, Exit 6: Yes, that is where the road goes nearly straight north to Lakeside (where the railroad crosses the lake from Ogden and reaches the western shore of the Great Salt Lake). The road is labeled "Frontage Road" on Google Earth. The arrow is on the hill about a mile due north of the interchange. Exit 77: Yes, that is where SR 196 (the Skull Valley road) joins I-80 at Timpie Springs. The arrow is beside the road going out to the Springs and is northeast of the interchange. I'm sure we are both talking about the same two of arrows. According to the GIS Arrow Project map, the main route to LAX goes out the south end of the SL valley. The south tail of the arrow at Lakepoint must be for an alternate route to LAX. I assume that tail is intended to connect with the arrow east of Stockton that Patrick found and is on the GIS map. Did you try the Bing.com/maps for better aerial views of the arrows?

The Lakepoint arrow seco0nd shaft may be from LA, but then what are the other arrows that extend south through the Salt Lake valley? Lakepoint shows an alternate route, perhaps? Brent
