Probably an hour and half from SLC. It takes about 45 minutes to get there from Layton. It is up in the mountains between Huntsville and Woodruff. It is on Highway 39. The mountain is called Monte Cristo and there is a campground on the top that has the same name. I have gone observing without camping there but it is nice to just go to bed at the end of the session. -----Original Message----- From: Chuck Hards [mailto:chuckhards@yahoo.com] Sent: Thursday, May 16, 2002 10:49 AM To: utah-astronomy@mailman.xmission.com Subject: RE: [Utah-astronomy] Binopalooza re-sched? I am limited to about an hour's drive from Salt Lake, and no overnighters. Where the heck is Monte Cristo? Chuck --- David Dunn <david.dunn@albertsons.com> wrote:
I don't think that it would be practical to reschedule the meeting. Only 5 or 10 members would come to the Binopalooza anyway. If you do end out rescheduling in July, we could do it on 11th thru the 13th at Monte Cristo. Both SLAS and OAS are planning to be there that week. It would provide us with a dark sky and about 4000 feet less atmosphere to look through.

Ive had a few more messages from Ogdenites who don't want to make Binopalooza on the 13th.
May I suggest that, if no guest-speaker was arrainged, could the meeting be held AT the bino-party?
I'm open to a re-sched., but I can't make it any earlier myself, and that particular Friday I would have to leave before moon-set. Not really worth it.
I suppose July would work.
Opinions please, and quick!
Chuck
