Hi FAS folks:
All week, the forecast for our club observation at Bullington tonight has been mediocre. But this morning, it has improved significantly, at least for early in the evening (there is a rain system coming in late tonight, which makes the overall forecast a bit tricky). So, for now, the observation is on. I will be checking the forecast update at noon, and if it deteriorates, I’ll send out another notice.
There is other good news. Sean Wood, our intrepid reporter on the endless bridge repairs on Highway 52, reports that the bridge at the the town of Pilot Mountain exit on Hwy 52 is now open. He also reports that gas is quite cheap as you come off of 52.
I have just updated my email list with some new members, so for some of you, this may be your first notice of a club observation at Bullington. If you don’t know where Bullington is, you can find directions on the members-only section of the FAS web site. If you have any trouble accessing that section, please let me know.
Steve C.
