How about the most creative use of Flamingoes to decorate a camping site? Biggest, oldest, brightest, most, etc.

Please, please - leave that one at home.

All the dogs in attendance when I heard it last time were howling.

Wrong it may be but I kinda like it. Goes nice with the talking trout and talking deer head....Come on man, you know you like the singing trout. I'd bet you gave one to every one of your fishing buddies when it first came out a few years back..

Are you talking about "BIG MOUTH BILLY BASS"? Yeah, I have one......

gnorgan,
The telescopes sound good. Another fun sky even is to look for the flashes from the solar panels on the network of Iridium satellites. Frequently these can be seen shortly after sun set or shortly before dawn.
Schedule available at;
Welcome to Heavens-Above!
These are naked eye events. If you are located along the path of the reflection they can appear as bright as -7 or -8 magnitude.

Also, I just talked to another Airstream and telescope owner friend of mine who seemed genuinely interested in heading out to this rally. He has spent lots of time in and around the Sedona area so this would mean another telescope (8inch with GPS searching capabilities) to look through.
Our $$ is in the mail Saturday morning.....

Might decide to stay over Monday night, too.

I enjoy watching the International Space Station go over. It is very visable if you know where and when to look. When the Space Shuttle is attached to the station even easier to see. Go the the sighting website to see when it will be visable in your area.

Welcome to the forums and thanks for signing up for the rally. I have received your registration and you are all set. Let's see, Sedona to Cottonwood = 20 miles. I'll have to think about that one.....

GoldFever · 12-08-2006, 10:32 PM

Bring printouts for all those "fly-overs" and everything else. Galaxies, nebulas, etc. will be there, too.
Richard, how do I find out if my registration $$ made it or not?

Now, to find time to wash and wax the aluminum.....
