Chuck, I have suggested many times to move the location, nothing but strong opposition. When there is a serious discussion about moving I will be glad to suggest locations. My astro equipment is not mobile, setting up and taking down is only half of the equation, it is pretty simple really the site needs at least one wheelchair ramp. If the sidewalk at Winchester had a ramp it would be accessible. I remember Lowell's and Rodger's solution to having ALCON planning meetings held at an accessible location, it was to kick me off the committee.
Erik Tell us exactly where they are, Erik. Sun party locations can be moved if
the BOD decides to do it, and it's done before the next schedule is printed.
In the meantime, if you ever tell me in advance that you're going to Winchester, and I can make it, I will set up on the asphalt again. I will help you set up and tear-down your own solar setup if you want to bring it, as well.
My bino parallelogram is especially well suited to chair users. I have 15X and 20X 70mm units with Baader filters. I set up the PST on a small GEM and typically have the tripod legs adjusted for chair height.

Deloy has different situation, small wedges do not comply with ADA standards. The standard is one foot for every one inch of curb. it is rare when anyone sets up on the asphalt. There are many spots on the Parkway that are, I go by them everyday.
