Folks,

 

I heard from Erin again today.she checked out the south side of the pavilion
and determined that the pavilion blocked too much of the sky.  So she
overruled the triathlon group.  As a result, we're back to the NORTH side of
the pavilion as originally planned.  Sorry for the back-and-forth, but as of
now we are back on the NORTH side of the pavilion!

Folks,

 

I just learned today from Erin, the Caesar Creek Naturalist, that the area
we normally use to set up was mistakenly promised to a triathlon group, so
we will need to set up on the SOUTH side of the pavilion this Saturday
evening.  Also, the forecast for that night is looking much better, so keep
those fingers crossed!

Campout- Saturday, Aug 11

 

REMINDER: 

 This Saturday, August 11, is the annual Perseids Meteor Shower Camp-Out at
the Caesar Creek Beach. Now, this is the one event you should plan to make
each summer! When the weather is decent, we've seen over 200-300 campers and
upwards of 20 or more telescopes. The forecast is still a bit iffy yet again
this year, so keep your fingers crossed!  The park has programs planned for
the camping kids and adults from 7:00-11:00, including an astronomy
presentation again this year at 8:30 by myself and Mike Smith of CAS. This
year, unlike years past, the activities start lots earlier, at 2:00 with
Kayaking.  The park also allows camping on the beach grounds this one night
of the year. COME ON OUT! 

 

Please note: THE TELESCOPE AREA WILL BE JUST NORTH OF THE
RESTROOMS/PAVILION, IN THE GRASS, NEAR THE SERVICE AREA THAT IS ENCLOSED BY
THE WHITE FENCING.

 

 Here's the "official" release on this event from the Park's own
announcement.
