    There was talk about observing at Eagle Bluff this weekend, but alas, looks like we’ll be thwarted by the weather once more.  Someday…

    Not looking so good with the hazy smoky skies. We’re probably going to skip Eagle Bluff tonight. Plus the moon doesn’t set until after 1am. Nice for lunar observing though!

    Yes, Eagle Bluff is still on. I know myself, Dean, Randy and several others are planning on coming.

    Eagle Bluff is available this Saturday night and the weather looks good-cooler for at least one day! Dean says he will bring a case of Spring Grove pop. 🙂

    Hi, we are trying to contact Eagle Bluff to confirm for lights off and bathroom code.  Friday night (May 7) is looking good albeit chilly.  Hopefully they’ll respond quickly tomorrow.
