Directions to Pit N Pole for non-SL Valley folks
First of all, want to thank those that have made available the site, and given directions to Pit N Pole. I live in Tooele and have never been to PNP. Dont' think I want to drive to Lehi and follow the directions. Are there any directions to the location from the Tooele side? I am guessing it is close to the Utah Rocketry Club launch site (for those of you that are real Space Cadets :) _________________________________________________________________ Your E-mail and More On-the-Go.

Brent, if you go to UROC's link to their launch site at: http:// www.uroc.org/index.php?option=com_c...id=16 and switch to satellite and zoom out to where the scale shows 1 mile you will see the road to the Rush Valley observing site (Pit n' Pole) about a mile to the West from the UROC site. Head about a third of a mile south on this road and take your first right and travel West again for another third of a mile and you'll find yourself at the site. 36 to 73 looks like the most direct route out of Tooele.

Brent, looks like you've got all the info you need. The correct link for the UROC site is: http://www.uroc.org/index.php? option=com_civicrm&task=civicrm/event/info&reset=1&id=16 Sorry for the abridged version. Clear skies wherever you end up! Dave On Mar 11, 2010, at 2:00 PM, Dave Bennett wrote:

Brent: I don't wish to dampen your enthusiasm but this time of year the dry lake beds like PNP are not exactly dry. In fact I would call this the Mud Season. The mud at PNP is extremely slick to the point you can barely stand up on it let alone drive on it. My own plans for late winter and much of the spring is to stay where there is pavement or at least a good gravel bed. SPOC is where I plan to be this weekend. My opinion.

Thanks for the reminder. I almost got stuck last month in my little 2wd hatchback out at the UROC launch. She handles really well on pavement though.

I doubt there is any mud out there this year, it has been kind of drier than normal. Brent:
