Hi Gang...

Memorial Day site inspection tour has been moved forward to the
weekend of Friday May 3rd through Sunday May 5th.
Thursday May 2nd - I leave the radar site in DM09 around 3PM for
New Pass Peak and the mtns above Austin Summit, both in DM19,
staying the night in Austin NV.

(near Peoche NV) in DM28 and Mt Ella (Near Caliente NV) in DM27,

pretty good grub. Connecting to Hwy 6 west and on to Tonopah NV
