I'm posting this because the image is just too good to pass up.
I think we have the best setup possible for the Shingletown Star Party.
Imagine waking up in the morning, 4,000 feet up on the slope of the
southern Cascade Mountains. Mount Lassen's snow capped peaks to your east,
to the north Mount Shasta - deep in snow. Fresh air, smell of coffee
brewing and voice murmuring, talking about the night before and plans for
the day. In front of your campsite, your telescope and other gear, just
steps away, right where you want them at nightfall.
To your left and right, across from you, along the length of the 7/10th of
a mile long runway, astro friends who you've known on the Internet - all
there, smiling, rubbing sleep from their eyes.
You stroll down the "avenue" and visit, relaxed, getting reacquainted with
old friends and making new ones. Five days of friendship and dark
skies. You're living on Astronomy Street. One long paved street, where
every one of your neighbors has their astro-camp and gear, right there.
No wonder everyone wants to come back each year...
I think we should post a sign at the entrance to SSP - and give it the
address of...
#1 Astronomy Street - USA
Shingletown Star Party - nothing else like it!
Have you signed up yet? If so, have you paid your registration fee? Fees
go up from $40 to $50 tomorrow.
