Yes Jo, Lakeside as far as I'm concerned. I have little interest in Rush Valley. If it's not at least 3 or 4 full truckloads, though, with a barrier membrane laid-down first, it's not worth it. 8 yards will only cover enough area for 3 or 4 observers, about 4 inches deep. With no membrane (landscape fabric or heavy plastic) it will quickly sink into the soil after only a year or two. On 7/25/07, Josephine Grahn <bsi@xmission.com> wrote:
I talked to the BLM 8 years ago about the possibility of pouring a concrete "platform" at Lakeside, and received a polite no. It is possible that a dump load of gravel might be acceptable. I assume we are talking Lakeside rather than Rush valley?
Regarding the dark sky fund, I am sure the club would vote to expend the funds for that sort of worthy project.

We do not have a Dark Sky fund, it got disolved several years ago. Erik
