LOCATION: Lassen National Park in NE California
WEATHER: Another lovely day. Highs around 70
The Lassen Dark Sky Festival began in the park. There are astronomy-related activities all day for 3 days and nights. Many people are here in the park specifically to attend the festivities.
We went to a very interesting lecture about tracking TNOs using the occultation method. Don't I sound smart?! I didn't understand half of the talk, but little kids (mostly Asian) asked really intelligent questions.
We stopped at the information booths, looking at the sun through special telescopes.
After a picnic lunch, we hiked a trail, then watched a movie about the light pollution.
Today marks 2 years on the road. We celebrated by opening a special bottle of wine we had bought at a winery on Bainbridge Island.
DINNER: Omelette with everything but the kitchen sink....onions, garlic, broccoli, wieners, cheese, and corn.
