Howdy all; I am happy to announce that the skies are clearing and people are set up and ready at the airstrip site for the Messier Marathon. I drove over this morning and I can report that the road is in pretty good shape. There are a few muddy spots so drive carefully. Al and Lori made it towing a pretty large trailer. I am hoping to get some images tonight and check off a few objects on my list. See ya; Steve Coe -- See message header for info on list archives or unsubscribing, and please send personal replies to the author, not the list.
