I've contacted those that I knew about going up, but for those that didn't contact me, this is canceled. The camp called me, and it's raining with lightning right now. We will reschedule for another time. Thanks, Dan -- Sent from my iPhone. Please pardon any mispelings or errors. On Jun 22, 2013, at 12:08 PM, Daniel Holmes <danielh@holmesonics.com> wrote:
Gang, I've been asked to put on a star party for the YMCA Camp Roger. Kinda short notice, but if anyone's available for Monday night (the 24th), I'd appreciate it.
They have a large open field that we can setup in. They will allow us to drive onto the field to setup as well. I'm not sure about power, don't count on it.
There will be about 130 kids at the camp that night, they will provide enough counselors to keep the kids coming in waves. I think if we could have somewhere around 8-10 scopes that'd be plenty.
It'll be quite dark, there's really nothing around, although they have a restricted view until about 20-30 degrees up in most directions.
Plan on starting around 9:30, I'll be getting there somewhere around 8-8:30 so I can setup while it's still light. Plan on about an hour from entering Parley's canyon.
Directions: http://www.ymcautah.org/camp-roger/directions GPS is 40° 34' 31.1" N 111° 02' 44.0" W
If you have any questions, please email me directly. They also said that if we'd like to stay there for a while after the kids go to bed, we are welcome to be up there--it's pretty dark skies. Thanks, Dan
