General Event Information
http://www.campingfriend.com/LassenpinesRVresort/
Thank you.
The last page has a drop down in the payment section where you can choose either Paypal, or Check. By default, neither are selected, and there is no way to finish the registration process without selecting one and clicking Submit. After selecting one option or the other, it will save the record and send you a confirmation. If you choose paypal, it will take you to the paypal site. So if you do not mind, try again, so we have all your information.
In any case, our mailing address is:
GSSP 2010 Registration, Jane Smith, 411 K. Street, Davis, CA 95616
Feel free to contact me if you continue to have any difficulty.
Regards,
Rich Ozer
Since the event is on private land and we are under contract and insured only for the specific days of the event, we cannot have early arrivals. However, many of our attendees spend a couple/few days in advance at Mt. Lassen park, where they set up in the night-time at Bumpass Hell or Devastated. You can't leave your equipment set up there, but it's very nice observing and camping.
Here is one possibility for you.
There is a star party in Trout Lake, Washington, July 9-11, sponsored by the Rose City Astronomers in Oregon. This is a low-key, free event. Maybe 30-50 folks.
You could start your trip with an in-state drive, stop for a day or two at Trout Lake, then make a LONG drive (400 Miles) to GSSP.
It would add a day of astronomy to your vacation, and break up the drive down.
Trout Lake information can be had at the Rose City Astronomers site.
On the return trip, you could stop at the "Mt. Bachelor Star Party". Be warned however, that it is no longer held at Mt. Bachelor. It's in Sunriver, not a dark site, and no on-site camping.
I'm hoping to do Trout Lake, then GSSP.
In 2007, GSSP held its event at Mt. Lassen; we couldn't camp next to our equipment either, and we had to break down each night. Many people complained about this, which was no surprise... it was a very valid complaint.
In any case, it was that much more incentive for us to find a new home amenable to camping and RV's.
We look forward to seeing you there. You'll find that GSSP is a very welcoming event; glad you can make it.

If you would like to attend public night (Sunday), all you need to do is show up before sunset and plan to leave before 2:00 AM. There is no charge for visitors, and you'll have the opportunity to look through many different types of telescopes. Hope you can make it, we look forward to seeing you there.
The lat/long is 41.19378,-120.945245
Sorry about the problems you had purchasing a gift. We'll look into making the paypal address editable. The alternative is paying by check, which is no problem at all.
Thanks again
We try to have the place emptied by noon on Wednesday.

I'll be posting a graphic later this week. Stay tuned.

The gate will open at 9:00 on Saturday morning.
Sorry.. that info was buried in the FAQ. We'll be doing an informational email blast once we get close to the event dates.
A tent-trailer can be located in either the RV or regular camping area. All spots are first come first serve.

Thanks, Jack
I will need to tape over the interior lights of my rental van in order to get into it late at night for some sleep without the lights going on. What kind of tape do you recommend?
Also I will need to rent a van in San Francisco, drive to Adin, then drive to Sacramento, turn in the car, and fly back to Ohio. Do you have any advice on what kind of minvan is best in regard to having the fewest annoying lights to tape over?
Any other advice on good car rental sources?
Many thanks for any advice. Looking foward to seeing you again, this time at GSSP ( I am a three time veteran of SSSP).
Regards

Good to hear from you... For taping, you want to try and find Gaffer's tape...it doesn't leave sticky residue and is completely opaque. If you can't find it, we'll probably have some laying around...
If you can find a Dodge Caravan, they probably have the fewest lights... those are typically what are rented anyway.
I tend to rent from Enterprise... They also have outlets in Sacramento... Check online for their rates. They have some pretty good weekly deals.
Very helpful!
Bill
Return to the registration page, re-enter your name and other information, on the next page select the option that says you are returning for additional purchases, and then choose the meals you want to purchase...

1) I don't know if I can make this or not until the last minute, any problem with just showing up? Need to know as I am coming 250 miles.
2) How does the Astro Swap Meet work? I have a bunch of astro stuff I would like to sell/trade.
Thanks, hoping I can make it.
Tom Duncan
The swap is simple. Grab some table space under the hospitality tent, and sell or buy to your heart's content... No fee to participate.
Thanks!

Is dew a problem here?
I'm strictly imaging and with a small refractor. I don't need dew equipment where I live so I have none.
Thanks for any help.
Mike
I am really looking forward to this!

I was wondering if there is a local ESPN radio station broadcasting in Adin? Yes I will leave my Vuvuzela at home. Thanks
We are not at a "remote" location. Adin is 10 minutes away, and our hosts live a couple miles down the road. We have Verizon cell coverage, as well as data and sms, and will have wireless internet much of the time (if the equipment works). AT&T does not work from that location. In case of emergency, you can use my cell which I will send you privately.
