• After witnessing the continued decrease of involvement in the SpotterNetwork staff in serving SN members with troubleshooting issues recently, I have unilaterally decided to terminate the relationship between SpotterNetwork's support and Stormtrack. I have witnessed multiple users unable to receive support weeks after initiating help threads on the forum. I find this lack of response from SpotterNetwork officials disappointing and a failure to hold up their end of the agreement that was made years ago, before I took over management of this site. In my opinion, having Stormtrack users sit and wait for so long to receive help on SpotterNetwork issues on the Stormtrack forums reflects poorly not only on SpotterNetwork, but on Stormtrack and (by association) me as well. Since the issue has not been satisfactorily addressed, I no longer wish for the Stormtrack forum to be associated with SpotterNetwork.

    I apologize to those who continue to have issues with the service and continue to see their issues left unaddressed. Please understand that the connection between ST and SN was put in place long before I had any say over it. But now that I am the "captain of this ship," it is within my right (nay, duty) to make adjustments as I see necessary. Ending this relationship is such an adjustment.

    For those who continue to need help, I recommend navigating a web browswer to SpotterNetwork's About page, and seeking the individuals listed on that page for all further inquiries about SpotterNetwork.

    From this moment forward, the SpotterNetwork sub-forum has been hidden/deleted and there will be no assurance that any SpotterNetwork issues brought up in any of Stormtrack's other sub-forums will be addressed. Do not rely on Stormtrack for help with SpotterNetwork issues.

    Sincerely, Jeff D.

Chiricahua can be workable from the Massai Point-here's the landscape, isn't it fun http://images.jupiterimages.com/common/detail/29/93/23219329.jpg
Lightning can be fierce there though and it is a high pinnacle.
but look at Cochise's profile, how cool is that-visible in the park.

A few of my fav spots for lightning in SE AZ are Benson, Tombstone, and the Willcox Playa. The road to Bisbee is good too. Bisbee is a funky town.

North into Safford is good too.
 
Chiricahua is ticklish in that the best views are some distance from the safety of your car. I'll be lugging a medium format camera system a mile or two into the hoodoo 'forest,' at night, following rattlesnake infested trails, looking to encounter a lightning storm! (Golly this sounds SO fun! ;) ) If Zeus starts throwing down CGs, I'll be running around like a headless chicken, seeking any hint of shelter.

On the other hand, the full moon promises gorgeous scenery to go with star trails, lightning, blowing clouds, etc. If there is some danger, there is also great photographic potential. Travelling alone is not my first choice, but really, how many other humans on this planet would be game for this sort of crazy 'entertainment?'

Thank you, Mike! I've printed your post and hope to make use of several of your suggestions. The back country / overnight permit at White Sands is just the ticket!
