Patrick, It would be good to post the lat/lon of the arrows you find. I have known about the ones by St. George for several years. Coincidentally I was talking to my brother about this same topic. Funny how the same things travel the net at the same time. A couple of locations I am interested in are the beacon on the mountain to the north of Immigration Canyon, and the beacon northwest of the Spiral Jetty. I have flown over them both many times, and even hiked to the one north of Immigration canyon. I do not recall seeing any arrows at either location. The beacon northwest of the jetty is in much better shape. The beacon housing minus the lenses is still there, and the remains of the generator shack are still there as well. BTW, did you know that Montana State still maintains the beacon system through the western mountains of Montana? They are charted and maintained operational. Some day I'd like to fly that system at night just to see what the old navigation was like. ________________________________ From: Patrick Wiggins <paw@wirelessbeehive.com> To: Utah Astronomy <utah-astronomy@mailman.xmission.com> Sent: Monday, August 26, 2013 6:11 PM Subject: Re: [Utah-astronomy] Government funded observing platforms Hello Ed, I've added letters and numbers to the image to help you and others describe the location of the arrow. http://users.wirelessbeehive.com/~paw/temp/exit62.jpg So for example the westbound exit from the freeway is located across from the letter I and up from the number 10. patrick On 26 Aug 2013, at 15:28, Patrick Wiggins wrote:
Hi Ed,
Thanks for the tip.
I looked on Google Earth at that area but could not find it.
Here's a screen shot of where I was looking: http://users.wirelessbeehive.com/~paw/temp/exit62.jpg
Is that the right area? If it is can you see the arrow and help me narrow the search?
Thanks,
patrick
