Go to the Arizona Soaring Association site or to John Leibacher's site and
get the ASA 2004 Contest Series database. You can find it under
"Turnpoints" on the following page:
http://www.asa-soaring.org/

From El Tiro you will need to skirt the controlled airspace usually by
flying north of it, over the Catalina Mntns and then on to the next valley
where there are some fields. Then it is on to Willcox, Bowie and fields
around San Simon then a dry lakebed east of Lordsburg then Lordsburg then
Deming. After that you're on your own.....not only because I've never flown
farther than that but also because I'm not sure that there are any airstrips
between there and Las Cruces. If it is good enough to go that distance it
shouldn't be much of a problem. I've always wanted to hold a contest out of
Deming since every time I drive through that area the clouds look like they
have bases over 18K.

The best resource for more info would be Mike Parker who flys out of El Tiro
and has done many long distance flights to the east.

Good luck,
