Off to Mt. Pinos

I am off to Mt. Pinos for 4 days starting Friday the 19th. I am taking my motorhome up to the parking lot and setting up both my scopes for 4 nights of observation. I hope to maybe see a few of you there. Look for my NS8GPS and my 15" DOB and a 25' white Diplomat II motorhome. I would love to see your scopes and show you mine. I am going in luxury this trip and will have all the comforts of home. I even have an extra bed for someone if needed. I am hoping to do a little astrophotography and a lot of viewing. Come if you can. I don't drink but I can offer a coke or some cold water! :^)
The parking lot has been repaved and is much larger in usable area now. Still a little soft, but very nice. Moon should be late in rising and Mars is still close so viewing might be pretty good.
Hoping to see you there.

Hi Floyd -

When did they repave? (I didn't go up last month...) It is about time they did that!

Sorry to miss you this coming weekend, I will be up the next weekend instead for the new moon.

Maybe I will catch you up there sometime - I have an RV also, and continue to go to Pinos all through the winter.

Have a good time up there!

With any luck, I'll be up there on Sunday with my NS11. Looking forward to saying "Howdy" in person...
