    Where does LCSP take place? I have never been to a star party. But the pictures from BEOTS made it look like a blast.

    Hard to tell Jim. Could be up around 40 like BEOTS.

    Sadly, LCSP will conflict with a get-together of Barth motorhome owners, as well as the start of Peach State Star Gaze, so I go instead to those.

    However, Scott will bring Dob Frog to PSSG after LCSP, so all is not lost....

    I have been lurking for some time. My family was in North Carolina during BEOTS-2. I am thinking of coming to Last Chance. It depends on my wife`s commitments.

    Kewl! I hope you can swing bringing Jason and Nikki - they're a lot of fun. I assume LCSP is 10/3-4-5?

    I may be the owner by then of Lot 23, DAV. That it's the one next to the pond, was NOT influenced by input from Maggie and Casey (who are not spoiled).

    I bought some of that, once. Low tide access wasn't a problem, if you wore reef walkers, but high tide access was only by SCUBA. Great for wildlife exposure folks; make Uncle Rusty an offer, quick!
