For a time a group from EVAC to went to a science camp in Prescott with our
scopes.  Over the years fewer and fewer became interested until only I
consented to go.  I backed out, not wanting to be the only scope with 200
kids.  That was the last year we were asked.  Fools Hollow is even farther
than Prescott.

According to the Fools Hollow State Park website, the distance and driving
time from Phoenix (where I live part time) are:
177 mi. About 3 hours 2 mins

Hi folks,

I hope you all had a good holiday.

I got this just before Thanksgiving and decided to hold off on it until after
the holiday, and yesterday I got another copy of it from the guy, just in case
the first one didn't get through!  So, I replied to that email, saying that I
wanted to get some input from the other officers and board members before
making any comments on his request.

Let me know what you all think.

Hi Don,

          I am writing you from southern Arizona on behalf of AZ State Parks.
  I'd like to share a request from an Arizona State Parks ranger, Sarah Kirk,
at Fool Hollow State Park in Show Low, Arizona.

         She was an interim park manager at Kartchner Caverns State Park over
the past few years.  While she was at Kartchner, we ran astronomy programs,
and these became quite popular.  At some events, we had more than 300
attendees.  Members from our club and others set up telescopes for night sky
observing.

          Anyway, she now works at Fool Hollow State Park in Show Low, AZ, and
she asked if it would be possible to run a similar event there.   She would
like to aim for an evening observing event for May through September next
year.  If this is something EVAC could help with, please let me know.   Also,
if you'd like to spend the night there, Sarah is will to give free entry and
camping to astronomers with telescopes.  To see examples of other astronomy
programs at AZ State Parks, please visit this link:
