[Chaos-l] Farrington boat ramp

[Mark South]

Ha ha ha ha.
that's true, I've sorta a James Dean of Astronomy.  :)  

Seriously, I've really appreciative of all the support and the teamwork this club has shown to rectify this problem.  So I'm very happy to hear this news.  

Membership card sounds good that can cover us in a more flexible way.   

As far as location, I'm happy to fall in line and play by the rules and go where it is lawful.   I know this is hard for me.  :)   (I still think that the east side (immediate left) is darker and less lights...but less parking options).   I'll let the group decide.  

I also hope we can have the opportunity to check out that new farm in eastern NC soon.  (next month?)
