Had a wonderful night out at Vernon, but all the sites on FR006 were gone by the time I got out there. It was extremely crowded by RV's with ATV's. I went to a back up site out there I have and had a great night. Joe, I looked at Venus but no sketch, but I can do that this coming week, same with M44. Anyway, I spent my time in Corvus and Virgo, then a little time in Hercules. Weather looks iffy through Monday but great for new moon on Tuesday and Wednesday so I am going to do a camp over on Tuesday, staying until Thursday morning. Thanks to Sky Tools 3 I have more than enough objects in Corvus, Leo, Virgo, Oph., Aquila, Hercules to keep me busy for the next two months. Also, the crowds are gone during the week. I noticed that and am going to blog about it this weekend on how my last outing last month at Pit n Pole one time on a Friday showed increase traffic out there with RVers and ATVers and the same in Vernon (during the summer months only). Seems as the population grows, the numbers in the summer are growing as well and some of our old quiet spots are not becoming that quiet on the weekends. Vernon though will stay good during the week and in fall, winter and spring. So IF anyone wants to join me on Tuesday or Wednesday let me know. If you need to borrow a tent I have that also. Car camping is wonderful. Your on your own for food and water since I have Celiac disease. -- Thanks! Jay
