Regular Utah County Star Parties? and a possible school party
Hi Folks, Would anyone else be interested in trying to get something going for maybe a first-quarter weekend star party on a regular basis over the warmer months? I think if we had 3 or 4 people willing to participate, we'd have enough people to deal with the inevitable vacation absences and such. Let me know if it might be of interest and if you have suggestions for where we could do it. Also, there's a tentative plan for a school star party at Lakeridge Junior High in Orem on the 13th. I'll let you know as plans develop (or fizzle). Lakeridge is on the SE corner of 900 S & 400 W. I haven't scouted out to figure out where the best place to be is, so if it's going to happen, I'll go check lighting and try to pick a good spot. John Craig
I'd be happy to see both happen, and am willing to participate as often as I can, work/life permitting. /R From: John M.
