Howdy,
The 2008 DPRG Outdoor Challenge has been moved to a new location!
The new location is the south parking lot of the Northway Christian
Church, 7202 W. Northwest Highway, about a block west of 75 Central
Expressway, a few blocks north of SMU.
The church is about 10 minutes north of Fair Park on 75. Here is a
google map showing location of both:

Here is a closeup showing the church's south parking lot a few blocks
west of the intersection of Northwest Highway and 75 Central.

Here are the coordinates for clockwise 100 foot square:
Point #1, southeast corner: N 32.86357
W 096.78155
Point #2, southwest corner: N 32.86357
W 096.78188
Point #3, northwest corner: N 32.86384
W 096.78188
Point #4, northeast corner: N 32.86384
W 096.78155
The DPRG have the lot reserved from 12noon to 5pm, Saturday 10 May,
2008. It is a flat, level asphalt lot with an unobstructed view of
the sky. However, there may be some pipes or other big iron things
under the asphalt, I haven't been able to determine that yet with
any precision.
Many thanks to Roy Jopling for making the church's space available
to us at the last minute after we lost permission to use the Fair
Park lots.
See everybody a week from Saturday!!!!
best regards,
