I suspect that most of the expected crowd will be there with their own telescopes. Just my guess. Sig On Tue, Apr 10, 2012 at 9:39 AM, <erikhansen@thebluezone.net> wrote:
A good thought, although if they are having an ambulance on stby I would bet the Sheriff is going to be serious about keeping traffic lanes open. I would not be surprised if at some point they turn people away if it gets too crowded. Parking does sound like it is going to be the big problem at Kanarraviile. I still maintain anyone with a telescope there will be swamped if the crowd expectations hold up.
Reminds me of a story though, in college we had an informal party in a small town, we exhausted their libations.
Something to think about if you plan on being flexible and mobile while
scouting a location is that the local roads probably can't handle a high traffic volume. Getting in and out quickly may prove difficult and frustrating. There could be a long line of cars coming and going from every direction, before, during, and after. Local gas shortages are also a concern in some of these small towns, if the number of predicted visitors is towards the upper end of the scale. You could be stranded, waiting on a tanker. _______________________________________________ Utah-Astronomy mailing list http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/utah-astronomy
