For those of you guys going to St. George Friday, don't follow that map. If you follow the map, you will end up in Hilldale with the polygamists! So I'm going to explain how to get to Fort Pearce from River Rd.

...

From the freeway get off at exit 8 which is St. George Bouvelard and make a left turn. Go across the bridge to River Rd. Turn right on River Rd. Go south till you cross the Virgin River bridge and turn left at 1450 South. Take this road and head east and you will come to a stop sign. Turn left on 1580 South and keep going east. This will turn into 3400 South when you enter Washington. The road will turn right and you will head south on Washington Fields Rd. Keep going until you see the old farmhouse and turn left on the dirt road. There is a sign and it will say Warner Valley. Go southeast on this road about 5.6 miles till you see the signs for Fort Pearce. Turn right to go to Fort Pearce. The dinosaur tracks are farther east of the Fort Pearce turnoff. There is a sign that says "Dinosaur Tracks" if anybody is interested.

OAS is planning to have a Star Party at Fort Pearce on the nights of 2/4 & 2/5. Anyone is welcome to come and get some winter observing in with us. To get to Fort Pearce, take exit 8 in St. George, turn left on St. George Blvd and Right onto River Rd. Then follow the directions below (188 S River Rd is just a random address to get the directions started) . For those of you that went to see Columbia return, we went to see the dinosaur tracks and Fort afterwards. This should be a good dark site. It is on public land so you can camp nearby if you want. Most of the people that have told me they are considering going are planning to get a motel room. If anyone finds a good rate, let us all know.
