Re: DARC Is Open To Smaller Group

Last May I tried contacting Dr. Hoglan, and a few days later, a gate key
holder for the site, requesting permission to join the group for the New
Moon Saturday. I did not receive a response to either email. Maybe the
owners have too many folks requesting access, and/or aren't comfortable with
a large group of strangers. Either way I respect that as it's private
property.

I instead observed at Mercey Hot Springs airfield, saw some nice objects,
and met some VERY interesting hot springs visitors. One knew that
Sagittarius was rising at about 2am. His friend was carrying some sort of
sparrow/bird in his hand, and proudly whispered that fact to me as I handed
him a red light. A plus was that we could buy ice cream at the resort,
right before sunset.
