Wolf Creek tonight
by Richard Tenney 03 Sep '05

03 Sep '05

If any of you are interested, the serious observers should be up at Wolf Creek this weekend. The forecast I looked at said tonight after midnight it should be clear up there. Also note that Steve Dodds (Nova Optics owner) will be up there all weekend with his 33"! I believe that's the biggest scope in the state. I just checked the udot website, and they said that construction crews will NOT be working in Provo Canyon over the labor day weekend.
