Patrick (and anyone who is considering driving to Bryce), I just got off the phone with Kevin Poe, and he strongly recommends the following route: He said to get off I-15 at Nephi. Then take hwy 28 to Salina, then at Sigurd, take hwy 24 and 62 past Otter Cr. reservoir to Antimony. Stay on 22 (he says it's paved all the way; watch out for potholes and a rough cattle guard at the top. You should come out right near the entrance to Ruby's Inn and the park. He says it might even be faster than I-15, even though it's only 2 lane (especially if I-15 gets shut down), and it's much more scenic. Look out for raptors like hawks and eagles; pronghorns and other wildlife. Hope to see some of you there, Ken ----- Original Message ----- From: "Patrick Wiggins" <paw@wirelessbeehive.com> To: "Utah Astronomy" <utah-astronomy@mailman.xmission.com> Sent: Tuesday, July 10, 2007 4:23 PM Subject: [Utah-astronomy] Re: Bryce tomorrow (Wednesday)

I wonder if Patrick is going to fly?
Well, that was the original plan (My motto: Why drive if you can fly?).
However during the recent flight to get the aerial shots of the observatory near Delta the instrument I need to get out of places like Bryce at night broke.
It's still in the shop. So, rather than risk ending up a gooey spot on one of the many mountains between Bryce and SLC I've elected to drive tomorrow. :(
