TACos, esp dyed-in-the-wool Peakistas,

Access to Fremont Peak over the ensuing winter will be the same as
now, only more so. Now pay attention.

All the campgrounds are closing Nov, Dec, Jan. We will be the only
nighttime users of the Peak. Rangers Brett Reid and Stuart Organo
will be covering the park thru the winter, Stuart on weekends and
Brett on weekdays. We are welcome.

So Coulter will be wide open for southern sky observing. SW lot is
open as ever for northern and eastern skies. Necessary courtesies
won't change - write both Stuart and Brett two days at least ahead,
with name, vehicle and plate. We need to do this for every single
trip, every single observer.

They _absolutely_ need to know who's coming, because they're keeping
the Park open for astro use only in those three months. I'm repeating
myself for deliberate emphasis.

The FPOA area they're not as concerned about, because it's no longer
their primary responsibility. But please do just cc them to be
polite, when you arrange to use Ranger Row or the pads.

This'll be a fun winter, with no headlights nor propane lamps in the
Park. Last winter was luxurious, when the rain stopped!

Cheers,

DDK
