Come Enjoy An All-Star Sky!
"Howdy Star Buckaroos!Treat yourself to an easy and fun
ultimate astronomy round-up.
Old timers or First-Timers, beginners or kids... mount up, head out, and rope in some fun!"
Location: Frosty Acres Ranch near Adin in northeast California at an elevation of 4400 feet. You'll feel home on the range, out in wide open spaces, views of Mount Shasta rising in the west; on-site amenities, nearby towns - all at true dark sky distance from city lights. Check our photos for the flavor! Set your GPS for the entrance gate at N41° 7' 34", W 120° 58' 26
 | Site: The surface is heritage grass, safe for driving, and provides a comfortable camping surface. The area is enormous. In 2008, amid California's early "fluke" worst fire season, GSSP had over 300 attendees and did not fill 1/8th the available space. DUST - The driving road has been moved east of the camping field, so traffic dust blows away from us. |
"I haven't seen skies like that since my childhood. Even familiar objects seemed almost brand new..."Bert Seltzer
"A dazzling "bowl of the sky" feeling from zenith to horizon in every direction".Richard Navarrete"This is the darkest sky left in the US ... It doesn't get any better than this!"Tony Hallas
