Hi Graham: Before we let you in to Arizona, a little geography lesson: Tucson, Arizona: University of Arizona (UA Wildcats) Tempe (Phoenix), Arizona: Arizona State University (ASU Sun Devils) Flagstaff, Arizona: Northern Arizona University (NAU Lumberjacks) If you mix them up, you might get strung up from the nearest tree! Larry Hi Ruben, All As part of our tight schedule we intend to be in the Holbrook area on Wed 3rd, So if that fits in with you or any others that would be great probably staying somewhere in Flagstaff that night...nothing booked though. Would have liked to have attended one of Geoff's Meteortie Men viewings (one that eve) but it looks like we won't make them now we have out tour around all booked upwish we had known about all the exciting extra events this year earlier on, then we would have booked our tour around themso frustrating when you have to book so far ahead. Anyone know what time the Meteorite Men viewing start's and where? Just trying to make sure I have all options covered before we leave the UK. Desperately trying to see if we can find ways of getting to one themGeoff?

Has an evening been confirmed? I don't seem to be having any luck getting replies from Geoff and Dorothy.

Hi Richard Wow..I was 'hanging around' those trees then when I visited the Flandrau Centre during my last Tucson show then?

Re: [meteorite-list] Tucson Group Meteorite Hunt? Warning!
It is a 6.5 hours drive from Grand Canyon Village to Tucson, if you don't stop and don't run into traffic. Dolores is eternally busy, so I'm not that surprised she hasn't had a chance to respond. The trip up to Mt. Lemmon is a separate event hosted by the people at the Mt. Lemmon Sky Center. I'm not sure of the date, but Dolores might have that information I'm sure once she has it she'll post it here. Thank you and I'm glad you have a slice of TC3. As Anne Black said, she'll have samples for sale in her room. I'll probably be in and out of her room several times the first few days as well, and with Geoff as her room mate, I imagine that room will a hub of non-stop activity. -- Richard Kowalski http://fullmoonphotography.net IMCA #1081 --- On Sun, 1/17/10, ensorama...@ntlworld.com ensorama...@ntlworld.com wrote: From: ensorama...@ntlworld.com ensorama...@ntlworld.com Subject: Re: [meteorite-list] Tucson Group Meteorite Hunt?

Dear Graham and Meteorite_List, Thanks Richard! You know I'm busy -ha! Here is some information on the Mt. Lemmon SkyCenter tours during the Tucson Gem Show time frame: http://skycenter.arizona.edu/ There is a fee and reservations required for these tours; I am not sure if they are daytime or nighttime: Jan. 29 and 30 Tour groups at Biosphere 2 and the Flandrau Science Center will enjoy views of Mars via _remote_ observing from Mt. Lemmon (Note that Jan. 30 is the same night as the free Arizona Meteorite Exhibition). Feb. 13 and 14 on Mt. Lemmon Feb. 24 and 25 on Mt. Lemmon These activities are independent of the Arizona Meteorite Exhibition. So for more specific information on times and travel arrangements call (520) 626-8122 or email skycen...@as.arizona.edu mailto:skycen...@as.arizona.edu. I hope to see many of you soon!
