Nate & Steve, Thanks! I will head out that way and I'm sure I'll find a dark site. I've been out to the Topaz Internment site about 6 years ago. I'll file a report as soon as I can, probably Monday night. On Thu, Sep 30, 2010 at 8:01 PM, <sfisher01@comcast.net> wrote:

I think if you get started early it would be hard not to find a good spot out there. Head out toward the Topaz Internment site and look for dirt roads off the main road. We went up to Middle Drum Mountain last year with the folks from the Gama Ray Center and there were lots of places to pull off or over and have great views. Let us know what you find.

I am going to attend a funeral in Delta on Saturday and we are going to spend the night (long story, my in-laws can only go one way in one day). So, since we are taking two cars I am thinking of taking one of my scopes to get away from my in-laws on Saturday night (with wife's approval). Does anyone know if there are any good observing locations within say 45 minutes of Delta?
Thanks,
Jay
