Summer, of course, is Milky Way time, but is often hot and humid. IO like fall because it's not too cold, you can still camp, it's usually drier and clearer (except in winter when it is usually really clear (when it isn't cloudy), and there is a lot to see. Anyway, let's start a list of those who want to go and when they would be available to do so. I could also use some help organizing this. And I would need definite commitments in order to get the facility for a day or two. Weekends are usually the most convenient for everyone but not always available, but most week days the facility is nearly always available.
Well,
Let me be the first to throw out a date. Obviously, I remain flexible, but if I had my pick I would probably go for the weekend of August 10 - 12, 2012.
Who wants to take a road trip?
