Anybody planning to go to Pinos on Saturday June 4th be advised: Mountain search and rescue is looking for someone who got lost with lights, helicopters, and off-terrain vehicles.
Friday night was a zoo up there with a million scopes and mountain search and rescue. I left early at 10:30pm after managing a few good views of Jupiter and some glimpses of DSOs amid the lights and mayhem.

Good grief! Thanks for the warning Rod. I was heading up tonight.
I'll check for news updates or call the ranger station first.
It might be time for another Red Rocks trip. wink

Rod, thanks for the warning, but, I do think a missing person is just cause for some lights....maybe you shoulda packed up and asked if you could help?
