How does a 2005-era viral video game meme relate to the American War of Independence? The answer is a cautionary tale on insufficient planning, lack of intelligence, and rash decisions.

I would email them, since there's not really a number to call. There is a person, Richard, who is the main overseer. But he's now always there, and it's not managed 24/7. If you have an idea of when you'll be there, hit me up and maybe I can meet you there and show you around. Or I can let him know.

Yes, visits are always welcome. From there, you just sign a form, pay like $30 initially, and after that it's $15 per night. A one-time visit would be free.

There's much darker skies closer to and in Florida panhandle, depending on where you're driving from. But, Chiefland Astro Village has a community field with power, warming room, showers, etc. It also has one of the best private telescope museums in the country! It will soon have a 10" Alvan Clark!

No, Bortle 2ish probably 3. Decent Milky Way; bottom line, it gets the job done for observing and less than 2.5 hour drive from where I live. Good facilities too.
