Mt Pinos Closure

The road to Mt Pinos remains closed due to the Day Fire. Although the fire was 100% contained last week, the forest service will not make a decision on reopening the road until Thursday October 12.
Let's hope it will reopen soon so we can get in some observing time over the next few weeks

Hey Rod,
I will be going to my alternate site for a while I think. Ballinger has as good of sky, about the same darkness and a bigger horizon, plus milder temperatures for the fall and winter.
I may still get up there again this year, but I do plan on using the lower altitude site. The wife likes the milder temperature.
