Their site up on that Mt.Pinos is not going to be so good in a few years, not
with the 24,000 home project going to be build just the other side of the I-5.

Hi DrSroney. No use driving to Mount Baldy. Best to go to the Griffith
Observatory.(famous place) You can point their large telescope where you
want. It is only a few miles from Beverly Hills and you can see all the
stars. I know I lived there for 12 years.(should have stayed) Bert

He can always come out to Rosamond and point my 8in dob at the sky.

Bert, Griffith is closed for rennovation and won't reopen until 2005.
In any case, the gentleman will want to get as far outside of L.A. as he
can if he wants to see very many stars.
