[Chaos-l] [Medoc-mountain-men] Tonight at Medoc anyone?

[Phillip Suitt]

Robert,

It's great that you folks look after each other at Medoc. I dropped a pair of glasses the last time we were at Ebenezer in January; that  night when the front came through and ruined seeing. Does anyone know if either The Morehead or perhaps the park service at the lake has a lost and found number?  

Sounds as if everyone had some great experiences with all that talk about galaxies and horse heads. I was a little under the weather and missed it all. Sorry I missed Morehead night Jayme, I was planning on being there. Thanks for any help any one might have.

Phil

So I was wobbling all night!   But when I got back, I bought a new bolt and locking nut so things are working well now.   Always good then you can fix your equipment for $1.47!
