That would be great! Sunset is at 7 p.m. (I plan to set up about 6:30). It will be fully dark by 7:30. Directions: From the mouth of Provo Canyon (starting the odometer where 800 North in Orem Crosses over University Ave.) it's 5.8 miles to Vivian Park/South Fork, just right off the highway there. Drive South into South Fork Canyon (narrow, winding road that begins at Vivian Park) 3.25 miles (you'll drive past another nice park on the way) to where you see a brown "National Forest Access" sign -- turn (right) in here. This is a newer park -- "Big Springs" -- drive up another quarter mile and the road ends in a nice big flat parking lot. The sky is fairly dark here despite a somewhat limited horizon. /R --- On Wed, 9/29/10, kyle mechling <bkmechling@gmail.com> wrote:
