Hi Ken, Any further word on the SLAS t-shirts? I can meet you at a mutually convenient spot. Thanks, Ken Jim Stitley (P) 260-0265 --- Ken Warner <KillerKen@killerken.com> wrote:

This is a couple of notes to those of you that are coming to Monte Cristo this week.

On the SLAS web site it lists loop E and D back wards. The smaller loop closer to the entrance is E. We usually try to camp there first and then when all the spots are gone we use D. Loop E is the first Left after you enter the campground.

We usually hold a potluck dinner on Friday and Saturday nights. We will have a couple of gas grills that you can cook some meat on. You can bring salads, desserts, or anything else for the potluck.

If the weather holds out this could be a fun activity and I look forward to seeing you there.

Thanks. David Dunn

Hi Rich et al, There's a few of us from SLAS headed up to Wolf Creek instead of Monte Cristo this weekend (Thursday - Saturday): Don Colton, Dave Bernson, and myself will be there. I know the Grahn's had mentioned they would probably be coming up as well. There are no fees at the site we observe from so no concerns if you leave early in the night. Also, there aren't any restroom facilities other than the wild outdoors so keep that in mind. And you are at almost 10,000 feet...even though it's July, bring your cool weather gear....just in case. Anyone from UVAA and OAS is welcome as this is not the official SLAS private star party (not that you wouldn't be welcome otherwise ;-) You'll find a link to my maps of the site in my sig as well as written directions (for those coming from Salt Lake) below. See y'all up there, Dave Bennett ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take I-80 East (past Park City exit) to Exit 148. (Rt. 40 East). Stay to the right on the exit, as it splits. Head East on Rt. 40 to Exit 4. At the bottom of the exit ramp, go left towards Kamas. (I think this is Rt. 248, but I won't swear to it.) Follow this road as it winds through the hills to Kamas. In Kamas there is a stop sign at the intersection of this road and Rt. 32. Go right (South) on Rt. 32. Take Rt. 32 several miles to the intersection with Rt. 35 in Francis. Go left (East) on 35. You will go through Francis and Woodland and up past the Mill Hollow reservoir turnoff. Towards the top of the pass, you will see a sign for the Wolf Creek campground on your right. Go to and through the campground on a dirt rd, and continue on about two miles heading south, until you reach the edge of the world (or maybe it just looks that way). The road comes to an abrupt "T". Go left, past the dead end sign, .8 miles. There is a beautiful wide grassy area to the right that Dave Bernson and Dave Bennett found several years ago. The sky is dark enough that the milky way casts a definite shadow. JG On Monday, July 8, 2002, at 02:35 PM, Richard Tenney wrote:

I understood a while back that some of you might be up at Wolf Creek this weekend (Saturday night the 13th to be specific); I'm interested in going up, and so is Debbie Whitaker (sorry, I know this conflicts with the SLAS event at Monte Cristo, but I'm assuming that's quite a bit further of a drive...?).

Anyway, please respond if you will be going up (or know of anyone not on this list that will) so I know who to expect along for company.

Also, assuming I don't stay the whole night, are there still fees required to be up there?

Thanks, Rich
