Thanks Ian.
Unfortunately, I had to decide against Tucson, as I just cannot fit in in, due to time constraints. I would loved to had had an extra week off work, but having taken six and half weeks off already, I am stretching it as it is. Mind you, I would have quit if they hadn't given me the six and half weeks off.
I ain't missin' this trip for anythin"
I only work permanent casual, part time, and don't actually get holidays, as such.
I am now heading straight to LA, from Flagstaff, and then down to Oceanside to visit Mt Palomar and OPT (to pick up a new scope and some accessories
) I may try to fit in Joshua Tree National Park, as it is only another 100 km from Mount Palomar. I have a car hired in Oceanside for two days anyway. So thanks for the tip.
Cheers Peter
