The wx forecast is (gulp) pretty bleak for Sunday in the wee-smalls along the I-80 corridor. Nonetheless, I'll be in Elko that night armed with my camcorder. Maybe we'll get lucky. It may be that I only get to hear a small sonic boom. NASA's being a little vague right now as to how audible it might be. We're told that the point of maximum heating on the capsule during reentry will be above Carlin, a few miles to the west of Elko. To reduce interference from moonlight we're advised to travel a bit south of Elko (increasing the moon-SRC distance), so I'll be heading down Highway 278 south of Carlin a few miles at about 09:00 GMT. Try as I can, I can't get a weatherman to push the advancing clouds out of the way. This may just end up being a Saturday night jaunt with nothing to show for it except a few bucks lost in the slot machines.

I'd hate to make the trek from Sanpete if the weather will be rotten. Also, if weather looks good, are folks planning to rendezvous anywhere?
