[Robert Nielsen]

I would just add a couple of things ... BRING MOSQUITO REPELLENT!  But I know Michael is able to handle the bugs ... we've observed together at Pettigrew.   And try to get a good eastern sky view ... there's not a lot east of the campground ... like all the way to Europe (OK, Bermuda might be out there) ... very nice skies in that direction!
