[Chaos-l] [Medoc-mountain-men] Saturday

[Robert Nielsen]

Well, the coffee machine is packed, some firewood is loaded, and soon I will put the scope in the back of the SUV.   I plan on being over at Medoc between 5:30 and 6:00 PM (remember the gate closes at 6 PM now) and plan on staying until around midnight.   

The weather forecast is for clear skies until around 10 PM, and then mostly clear until midnight.   After that, the clouds get thicker, and they forecast rain at 6 AM tomorrow morning.  The CSC is more optimistic, but since the clouds will be coming from the east I don't trust it as much.

Remember to bring warm clothes!   Cold observing weather is here!

Anyone still planning on coming to Medoc tonight?   Allen will try to come, I'm bringing Mark Clegg, and Mark Montazer mentioned something about coming.   We would love to see you there too, Keegan, if you can make it!
