UVAA is doing a star party for an Elementary School this coming Wednesday evening (tomorrow night!) starting at 8pm in Provo/South Fork Canyon. Any of you SLAS-ers that want to come join us are more than welcome -- this is a semi-dark site, so your efforts won't be wasted! They are anticipating 70+ kids, so help is needed and appreciated. I'll be there with the 16-inch. It will formally begin at 8pm, but you'll want to be up there sooner to find a spot to set up while there's still some light.
From the mouth of Provo Canyon (starting the odometer where 800 North in Orem Crosses over on to 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 -- 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.
There is a bathroom here and picnic tables if you want to bring dinner and the family along early. The current National Weather Service forecast looks promising. Thanks for your help, Regards, Rich __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com
