Bill, do people camp there for a couple of days or so? I'm thinking of say Friday through Sunday. Is this even allowed? Sounds like there are no hookups for potable water or electricity, amenities I don't have use for while astro-camping. Actually I bring everything needed - and take it out when leaving. Also, how well used is the area by public during the day? For example, supposed one wanted to take an afternoon nap - while telescope and equipment was still set up. Thanks and clear skies, aj BillFerris@xxxxxxx wrote: > > DIRECTIONS TO DONEY MTN.
