Cool Road Trip Map....
Good friends will once again converge on the edge of the Colorado Plateau for awesome observing!
2008 dates for OSP IV are: May 29th to June 3rd
Housing: A tent, sleeping bag, and warm clothes are recommended if you've not attended in years past. Heber also has a motel, Best Western Sawmill Inn, for better accommodations.
Previous years outings: Meteor Crater.
This years outing: Lowell Observatory? Petrified Forest? Painted Desert? Something close?
Food: With more people attending I might ask for cash to get the food we'll be eating (Lori and I cook but we are attendees too). Each year though we've had Rib eye's on the grille for everyone one night. Breakfast can be simple like a bowl of cereal, or June's Cafe in town just a few miles away. The Red Onion bar also has good burgers for an early dinner. There is Bison Ranch nearby: cheesy-looking buildings but good food. The Italian Stallion Saloon closed up but was replaced by the Wild Women Saloon, obviously it will do well.
