[Utah-astronomy] Question about Pit 'N Pole

Hi everybody, I have a question about Pit 'N Pole. I tried to go there once but a family was camped out at the site. So I continued until I found a place that I believed was OK, three miles south of Vernon. But now I'm not so sure. I had a lot of trouble with losing alignment, which I think was due to soft soil allowing one or more legs of my tripod to settle. Then there was a fair amount of light pollution toward Salt Lake City. Anyone care to comment on the merits of Pit 'N Pole on these counts? Tyler? Thank you, Joe
