New gate procedure for Coe overflow

[Mark Wagner]

After Drew (?) found he was locked out last time at Coe, I wrote and asked about using a monthly reset combination lock on the gate for astronomy (like Fremont Peak does).

This morning I received an email that they will do that going forward.

Now, we can contact the park and ask for the combo.  Just remember the combination will be changed monthly.  I will update the Coe section of observing sites, on the web page too.

Hopefully this will be a more reliable method!

BTW.... When the gate was not opened the last time, the rangers were called into the park for an injury emergency.  No staff around for us.  They are very helpful and I told them were very appreciative.

Mark:

Thanks for thanking the Rangers, public service folks don’t get the acknowledgment of their service to the community.  👍🙏

Cheers, 73s, Clear Skies and Clear Blocks,

TAC's webpage for the Henry Coe observing site is updated with the new use instructions (at the bottom) along with a google map link precisely to the location.

Also, agreed Ray.  And again to Coe's Ranger John Verhoven, Patrick Goodrich and others involved.
