@ Gary B:
The star party is 4/20-4/22 for everyone. We will be observing both Friday and Saturday evenings. You can observe all night if you so desire -- we will have non-astronomers earlier in the evening (showing the passers by and park guests the heavens). Come on over, we would love to have you. All you need to do is make a reservation at the Inn and pay for that as well as your food. Or you can just come up for observing and observe all night and not worry about sleeping -- however you wish. There may be some camp sites available, you'd have to contact the park. The observing field is about 1/8 - 1/4 mile up the hill from the Inn. Feel free to call me at 615-785-7104. No camping allowed on the observing field, but you could "rest" in your car. No tents, though. No RVs up on the field. It is a concrete slab used for scout meetings and other park functions. Great, dark skies.
