GRIFFITH OBSERVATORY     
Saturday June 7, 2008
Rating: easy
Trip Report:  A small but happy group of eight met at the venerable Griffith Observatory and enjoyed the tour.  The new planetarium’s effects are incredible.  The short film in the Nimoy Theater is well done.  And the Big Picture wall downstairs is very thought-provoking: imagine all those stars and galaxies portrayed on the 20 x 150 foot panorama occupying a part of the sky you could cover with your index finger.  Our God is an awesome God!

Red Rock Canyon Campout  at Red Rock State Park
 
February 29 and March 1, 2008
Trip Report:  13 people, mostly young men and teen boys, had a great time in this wonderland of cliffs and rock formations.  The group enjoyed good views of Saturn and other astronomical treats Friday night.  Saturday morning, 10 men and boys hiked into Secret Valley, where they explored Slant Shire, Gully Heaven and the Palace of Malice.  The bwana found a connection to Hagen Canyon and other routes through the southern valleys.  On the hike out the wind almost blew us over, but all’s well that ends well – we treated ourselves to a big, juicy hamburger feast in Mojave.

MAMMOTH BACKPACKING TRIP 
 
August 17-23, 2008
Trip report:  Awesome!  Nine people had a wonderful time in a beautiful section of the Sierras.  We hiked 43 miles with packs, and another 7 to Silver Pass.  Two hiked to the top of Red Slate Mountain.  The weather was good and we were rewarded with the best the Sierras have to offer: majestic mountains, sparkling lakes, glorious forests and meadows with wildflowers, and even two wonderful cascading waterfalls.  Some even caught trout for dinner.  It was another classic Safari backpack for the records!

Annual Star Party
 
at Mt Pinos
Saturday Aug 2, 2008
Trip report: A good time was had by all as usual.  About 35 people came.  Before dark, Dave gave news about astronomy and answered questions.  One boy was fascinated with the SkyScout and quickly became an expert.  The weather was comfortable; the stars were brilliant.

JPL Lectures: NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California has public lectures each month on a variety of topics, from space exploration to earth science to medical benefits of space research.  Though presented from the standard evolutionary perspective, the lectures are nevertheless interesting and informative, and usually provide good raw material for creation science.  Presented in the historic Von Karman auditorium with its full-size model of Voyager and other spacecraft, the free lectures are usually on the third Thursday of the month at 7:00 p.m.; click on the link above for the current schedule, and here for directions to JPL.
