Howdy all; I just wanted to let folks know that there are lots of very dark clouds around and some distant thunder as I write this on Monday at 1:30PM. I have had several folks say that they are considering coming up to Fred's Meadow for New Moon in August. I have seen many a Monsoon season in 38 years in Arizona and this is still a powerful one. If all you want to do is get cooled off and maybe look between clouds for a while, then you could have a fun trip. You might at least wait until Thursday or Friday to see if you are going to catch a dry spell. Do bring a sturdy cover for your scope. As I am typing this, there is hail coming down. Small stones, but loud in the RV. So, I am going to stop now and shut down and unplug the computer. See ya for September.
