I had a wonderful time. The skies were great, but what really made the trip fun for me was the chance to observe with you again and to meet Joe, Chris, and Darrell, three of the best observing companions anyone could ask for. Oh, and the Arizona lemons from your back yard. Elly and I have been enjoying the heck out of them. Looking forward to my next visit. Fiske Dick:

That must have been a neat setup to explore as a youngster! Do you know whether or not that telescope is still there? Wow, Norm! That must have been a neat setup to explore as a youngster!

As a kid in Colorado, my parents owned a ranch in the mountains an hour outside of Denver that had cabins on it, a main lodge with 10 bedroom suites, a Lake stocked with trout, and on the top of one of the hills an observatory. It had a telescope that had to be 20 feet long, and in one corner a radio that I could turn on and listen to shortwave signals on. It was connected to the telescope, but there were no instruction anywhere to be found in the building. So my dreams of making it work and seeing the stars never came true. Even today, I can remember the number of times, even though I knew nothing about what I was doing, I would attempt to "Make it Work". Days of fishing, Nights of hoping for Stars.

I am so jealous! As much as I would like to go on a stargazing adventure like this, but realizing how difficult it would be for me physically, I remind myself of all of the astronomical sightings I will behold when I get on the other side. You my friend are getting a glimpse through a tiny hole of what beauty we shall behold in the hereafter. Thanks for sharing! Awesome and well written account of your adventure. I am so jealous!
