In fact, while you're up there you should go to the gold mine, visit the amazing used bookstore, shop main street, eat at one of the many little restaurants (there's even a teahouse).

I did a little research and decided to buy one that some amateur, semi-professional astronomers thought were good for starters. I had no idea that it would be like 4 to 5 feet tall and arrive in two huge boxes that barely fit in the backseat of my car! (It looked so much smaller in the pictures.) Then I came to find out that my husband wasn't too keen on having a telescope after all, and he thought I was looney for buying the thing (to say the least). We had a huge fight, and I returned it. Someday it'll make a great short story.Shellihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02634919180872634636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7461076427066534397.post-82902352709579726072008-04-21T11:06:00.000-07:002008-04-21T11:06:00.000-07:00The observatory sounds great!
