I look forward to Capitol Reef. This is, by far, my favorite yearly SLAS outing. The Park is quiet and quaint. Several of us get together for day hikes with amazing views and fascinating sights. Some resturants offer locally grown foods and great menues. You can purchase a fruit pie-for-one for $5 in the park with homemade ice cream. The night sky is dark with a good low horizon in the east. I haven't been to Great Basin since the year it became a National Park - almost 25 years ago - so I am anxious to hear about the star party there. But, I am headed to Capitol Reef. Hopefully, Bob, the weather will cooperate this year! -A
