Friday night started out with me
setting up the scope and as soon
as the moon came up one guy in a
small pickup pulling in where the
pay phones "Used" to be and coming
over to see what the moon was like
with the scope. A bit later on a
school teacher from down near L.A.
spent some time at the scope
looking at the moon. The last ones
that night was a guy with his gal
she was the only one to take a look
at the full moon.
By just after 9pm I packed up as
almost no one was on the road and
no one stopping to have a look.
Saturday night started out with
one guy and a gal coming over to
look at the moon, they both had
a good look see at the moon, this
time I had my filters on and they
enjoyed the view. I was sore as I
had twisted my knee while unloading
the scope and didn't have any asprin
with me, so the cold temps where not
doing me any good, but I was still
setting up with the scope, but it was
a bad night as no one was coming
over for a look at the moon and by
9:30 I was hurting bad, so I packed
up and came home. All total for this
weekend I had 3 on friday night and 2
on saturday night, so it was a slow
weekend. Plus I'm taking it easy
because of the sore knee.
