[SCCC] JOTA Saturday

[W6UM at aol.com]

Many thanks for all the wonderful responses!
 
I will be getting back to all of you individually. Great to realize the  
degree of civic responsibility within SCCC. Meanwhile, here are more  detailed 
driving directions.
 
Driving Directions to Firestone:

Take the 91 East to the 57 North,  Get off on Tonner Canyon Road.
The offramp loops around, so your facing south  at the bottom of the 
offramp.
Turn Left (EAST), you will come to two locked  gates - side-by-side.
Take the left one, there is a stop sign and  guard.

If the Guard asks, Say your with the Jamboree on the Air (JOTA)  group for 
the Boy Scouts.
Say that Ranger Matt knows about it, and you are  helping with the JOTA 
station.

You will drive through some old oil fields  and cow pastures for about 1.5 
miles.
Proceed past the FIRESTONE SCOUT RESERVATION STONE ENTRANCE and Stop Sign 
(stop  first of course).
Go about 1/2 a mile, and you will see a building on the  left, and mock 
tombstones on a "boot hill" on the right.
Park on the right  side of the road (back in) in the open area before the 
tombstones.

The  GPS coordinates are approx: 33.947694,-117.841555

You can put those  coordinates into _maps.google.com_ 
(http://maps.google.com/)  or _maps.bing.com_ (http://maps.bing.com/) , or  mapquest.
