If I had more time I would have asked for SLAS volunteers, but I didn’t know the directions. Also with late notice on a work night I decided to forego asking. There was a group of folks (age 12 -40) with Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB), a rare skin disease, that may be coming there every year. Turns out that the exit to NAC is the same one that we take to go to the quarry only you turn west instead of east. So I was thinking that next year I would like to have SLAS participate and do a little party at the quarry. It will most likely be a work night but only go to 11:30 or 12:00. I was taking my 12” home made Newt/Dob and while near Deer Creek the back of the truck popped open and the Newt stand fell out of the back and proceeded to disassemble on the highway. I gathered up the mess and went back home and got a couple of smaller scopes. We got rained out so I am going back tonight. I have been so busy this summer getting moved, painting and such I haven’t been around much. Hope to be back in gear soon.
