FW: Saint George Star Party
OAS is planning to have a Star Party at Fort Pearce on the nights of 2/4 & 2/5. Anyone is welcome to come and get some winter observing in with us. To get to Fort Pearce, take exit 8 in St. George, turn left on St. George Blvd and Right onto River Rd. Then follow the directions below (188 S River Rd is just a random address to get the directions started) . For those of you that went to see Columbia return, we went to see the dinosaur tracks and Fort afterwards. This should be a good dark site. It is on public land so you can camp nearby if you want. Most of the people that have told me they are considering going are planning to get a motel room. If anyone finds a good rate, let us all know. 188 S River Rd 188 S River Rd Saint George, UT 84790-2114 to 37 03 13-113 27 50 37 03 13,-113 27 50 Estimated Total Driving Time: 52 minutes Estimated Total Driving Distance: 40 miles Total Number of Steps: 13 Step Directions Distance 1 You are at 188 S River Rd,Saint George,UT. 2 Go N on River Rd for 0.32 miles 0.3 miles 3 Turn left onto UT-34 (100 N, St. George Blvd) 0.1 miles 4 Turn right on ramp to I-15 N 0.3 miles 5 Continue on I-15 N 6.8 miles 6 Bear right onto off-ramp at exit 16 to UT-9 (State St) 0.2 miles 7 Take UT-9 (State St) Ramp 0.2 miles 8 Continue onto UT-9 (State St) 9.4 miles 9 Turn right onto Main St 0.1 miles 10 Turn left onto 100 S 0.3 miles 11 Continue onto UT-59 (Highway 59) 21.9 miles 12 Turn hard right onto Uzona Av 0.1 miles 13 You are at 37.000000,-113.000000,, Destination: 37 03 13-113 27 50 37 03 13,-113 27 50 Thanks, David Dunn 801-961-3253
Hi Dave, I was just thinking about driving to St. George, but the following weekend from your plans. I'm wondering if anyone would like to go the night of Feb. 11. The reason is that moonset on Friday, Feb. 11 is 9:40 p.m. and moonrise is 9:44 a.m. Saturday, giving a nice long night of moon-free observing. But the Feb. 4-5 weekend isn't as good, unless you like the moon -- as a lot of people do. Thanks, Joe
