ESS/ESSSO Field Trip

Grand Canyon Star Party
http://www.tucsonastronomy.org/gcsp.html
The environment is amazing, and it will be a great week to geek out. The
TAA are super hardcore, many of them have research-grade telescopes that
they maintain "for fun." We'll go on hikes into and around the canyon,
educate the public and look at the sky every night, and probably make some
day trips to Meteor Crater, Flagstaff, Sedona, etc. It should be really
fun.
