Here is a request I received from the Estrella Mountain Park Ranger. I can't
commit to every month but believe our Public Outreach could have a volunteer
for each month.

Subject: Park Ranger Needs HELP Mr. Wizard!
Hi! I'm the park ranger in Goodyear on the west side near Phoenix. Every
month I lead a hike called "Dark Sky Hike". I had a guy-Steve Dermer- who
would set up his telescope out in the desert (he drove) and I'd lead a group
out and back. He is now ill and can't do it anymore. Do you have a hobbyist
who might be willing to commit once a month-or even less-to help with this
program? I'm not getting the star thing. Altho I've tried-I'm just not doing
a very good job. It's a popular hike, people love looking at stars. Tony
Laconte of Stargazing For Everyone knows me and the park if you want a
referral. The point we hike to is drivable so no hiking is involved for the
astronomer. It's about a 2 hr commitment and once a month would be lovely.
The stargazing out here is pretty good and dark considering the area. I can
trade horseback rides for stars or write a college recommendation letter (as I
did for Kevin Lagore). I'd really love to be able to offer this program again.
Can you help?
