Star Party?

Adventure Location: Brantley Lake SP, New Mexico
Teams Location:  Brantley Lake SP

The night temps were nice enough to sleep with the windows open again.  By 1000 it was AC time again.
Yesterday the head ranger came by and gave me an invite to a star party for that night.  It sounded good and the temps were dropping fast so it should be comfortable. Of course there are no mosquitos out here in the no water land. About 2100 the OFM Stargazing Team headed for the telescope site by the kids playground.

My goodness there was a lot of kids on that equipment. The telescope folks were taking their equipment down already. The story was that the rain clouds way over there were too close and the equipment owner was afraid that his equipment might get damp. SO the star party was eliminated.  No rain got to us last night or even close. Oh well. It was worth the price.

Speaking of playground equipment, here is a picture of the children’s playground.

Yes my fingerprints did get put on the trolley that goes back and forth as you hang on it.  That was fun until my shoulders screamed in my ear.  Then the fun was over.
Back behind the playground is an open spot where the star non-party was held. And just back of that is the group shelter that can be rented for events. It is a very nice shelter and kept very clean by the park volunteers.

When the OFM Grocery Shopping Team got back to the Castle this afternoon the temperature showing on the Truck’s gage was 99 degrees.  From about noon on it was too hot for the wimp OFM to be out in the sun.   Keeping cool in the AC is another way of trying to have tooooo much fun. TheOFM.
