The Rio Rancho Astronomical Society has obtained permission from the
BLM to use the parking lot of the White Mesa Bike Trails for our
local dark site. The parking lot is located just southwest of San
Ysidro, NM at 4493 Cabezon Rd. The RRAS will be observing at the
site on the Saturday closest to New Moon. Club members usually
arrive about a half-hour before sunset, and observing sessions can
run the entire night.
