Weather is pushing us around. We were planning to go to Spruce Knob WVa this weekend, but weather is saying UH! In looking around Coffeeville Al popped up. Can anyone comment on observing locations there? They do have a Clear Sky Chart posted, so someone should have some information.

It's a great location, clear skies 350 nights a year, no bugs, no light pollution, cool in the summer, warm in the winter, seeing is great even during a hurricane... And best thing about it, it easy to stay awake in Coffeeville smile

One more tip... Be careful who you believe, there are some real crackpots out there in California, guys that will tell you anything... Before making that 500mile drive, I would get a second opinion... 8O
