Hi Mat, I estimate 3 1/2 hours; to be on the safe side you can give it 4. I should be at camp site 8, on the left just past an information kiosk before you reach the overlook -- that is, assuming it's not occupied. In case it is we can try for another spot. My cell is 801-913-3588. Thanks, Joe --- On Thu, 3/31/11, Hutchings, Mat (H USA) <mat.hutchings@siemens.com> wrote:

I might be able to make that tomorrow.
Thanks,

Hi Mark and others going to Pit 'N' Pole -- I wanted to go but Jay's report on humidity scared me off. Instead, I'll head to the Wedge Overlook tomorrow. Please tell anyone expecting me that I can't make it as earlier planned. Thanks, Jo

Oh, I should mention, I drive a black Nissan Pathfinder and I park in the outer parking lot just west of the Holiday/Chevron but in the Walmart Parking lot area.

There will be several people out at Pit n Pole both tonight, Thursday and again on Friday. This will include visual observers and those doing astro-photography. Humidity was very high at Pit n Pole last night, in the 90% range for a majority of the night. Tonight the forecast is for lower humidity, around 65% until 2:00a.m. and then climbing to around 80% after that. So if you plan on staying late I'd have some dew heaters ready to go. Nothing new for this site. If you want to avoid the humidity you could observe up on Five Mile Pass which is up out of the muck but doesn't have as much of a open view but the skies above 25 to 30 degrees are just as good (and who looks under 25 degrees right?).
I am meeting a friend at Walmart at 5:30p.m. in Lehi at the corner of Hwy 68 and Hwy 73. We'll leave right at 5:30p.m. as we want to set up in the light and be ready go before it gets dark.
