Gads how very cool to buy a dark sky site. I wish the dog community would buy a nice building to do agility in... :) Cyn Josephine Grahn wrote:
I think some sort of private coalition would probably make more sense, kind of a co-op. I would throw a thousand in. BUT... Does anyone really know whether the BLM would go for a change of Use? That is what worried us when Allen first saw it and pointed it out to me. I suspect that the "auction" dead line is not firm, so much as a way of getting it's availability out there. Perhaps we should contact the guy. Anyone else "IN" if it looks like we could get a change of use? I would guess that we would be forbidden from setting up camp there, although the odd cot for a nap might be acceptable. I imagine we would have to pay to have the road graded every year, plus taxes and lease fees. So.. it would not be a "one-time" cost.

At just under $8,000, this does look like a really nice place to set up. The building is substantial, looks like it is secure with plenty of room inside to store things including a few cots, etc. Might be worth serious consideration. If I threw in $1,000, could we get enough others? Thanks, Joe
