The moon is getting into the picture for a while, also remember that the monsoon is here. Afternoons will typically be threatening in the mountains until we get to September, usually. Sometimes it clears up in the evenings, sometimes it doesn't until three in the morning. Best bet is to have other plans besides the telescope just in case. Fishing sounds great!

I did a little trip today with my 8yo son up to Wolf Creek hoping to get some hiking in but the weather was too scary (lightning) to venture too far away from the vehicle. Having never observed at this location, I took the time to drive about looking at the area and trying to find an observation friendly camp location with some degree of privacy to pitch a tent.

I took some gps readings of some "west of the entrance" potential sites, none with a lot of the privacy character. These ranged from W 40° 29'9.5" to 40° 28'14.5". I brought them up on google maps and was surprised to see an area east of the entrance from W 40°28'47" to W 40°28'41" that we missed that might be okay.

Where does everyone usually set up? Are there any fish in the lakes nearby? :) If the weather cooperates I'm thinking of camping up there for a few nights.

Cheers
