The Location section for this entry is almost entirely incorrect. It is not in the Canyonlands Desert (in fact, I'm not even sure there is a such thing as the Canyonlands Desert). Although it is 45 or 50 air miles from Canyonlands National Park, the San Rafael Desert and the Burr Desert lie between MDRS and Canyonlands.

MDRS is 4.8 air miles from Hanksville. Over the road, it is 3.4 miles WEST of Hanksville on a paved road (UT-24), then 4 miles north along a dirt road to MDRS, for a total of 7.4 miles.

The exact coordinates of the station are as follows (in different coordinate formats):

DD MM.MMM: N 38° 24.385' W 110° 47.518' DD MM SS.SS: 38°24'23.39"N 110°47'30.68"W

I've never edited a Wikipedia entry and don't really care to, but I hate seeing incorrect info here. Maybe somebody else could first verify my info (though I'm sure it's correct) and then edit the page? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 66.111.123.135 (talk • contribs).

Hmm, I'm not saying your information is incorrect in the slightest. I'd be willing to add the information, but can we get some sources? McKay 21:56, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
