Bob I will not be around. Is there an email address I can send to? ... Jeff Gortatowsky, Fullerton, CA | Twitter: JeffGortatowsky | Yahoo: indanapt Facebook:...
I am interested to hear about the cultural aspects of the valley and why this has been proposed before I make up my mind about the issue. Is there a website...
Paul, I do not know what is special about LBV other that it is a very dry place that is like a giant chalk board that is never erased. I am just relaying the...

Hello, This email message is a notification to let you know that a file has been uploaded to the Files area of the TAC_South group. File : /LITTLE BLAIR...
I have uploaded 3 files in a new folder entitled 'Little Blair Valley' that should shed some light on this issue. I received these indirectly from John Downs. ...
Hi all, Although I would certainly agree with Paul S. that we should be sensitive to the basis for this decision on the part of the archeologists, I also agree...
My letter is sent and emphasized our low impact as well as our connection to the those that came before us. We are in many many ways observing the same skies...
I Think that providing information to TAC would be a very good idea. Not only will they be supportive of the cause but theyhave done some good advocacy and may...
Yeah I am not sure if Mark Wagner stills listens in here or gave up. He could wordsmith an appeal to the TAC group better than I. We'll see. Plus I would need...
I just posted to the TAC Facebook Page. I described the situation, linked to this thread and posted contact information for letters. Maybe someone with...
Description of the nearly 100 square miles that will have permanently restricted use and will never be able to be used for astronomy. NOTE: Within the Preserve...
... Bob, Perhaps it will be possible to arrange for use similar to how TAC in the SF bay area has done so for places like Montebello Open Space Preserve and...
That is for Blair Valley which is outside the preserve. I have set up at Blair Valley but there where always issues with light either from fires or cars...
Mark, They want to get rid of the road to LBV so it would not be accessible. If you have not been to LBV it is one of the few places in San Diego, because it...
I reread that section. That was the original goal but that is not mentioned in the recommondations. I also think that the spirit of that goal was to also limit...
I still think the initial push should be for the park service to leave the first 500 yards of the spur road open to vehicles with no permission for offroad...
Hi Bob, It is NOT true that they are making LBV inaccessible, they are only proposing to close the little road-that-goes-nowhere that we set up on. See the map...

Hi Paul, First is is amazing that she did not know the area is used by astronomers. She probably did not hear from us because we did not know about it. You are...
Hi Bob, I'm just not worried about it, I think they are going to either modify the map to include the little road and an area to the north of it where we park,...
Paul, Thanks for your clarification on this. I have drafted a letter to the two addresses on the flier but have not yet sent them. I would think it would...
Absolutely, send letters, the more the merrier. I'm pretty sure, from the feedback I've gotten from others who have heard back from Ms. Schneider, that things...

Aw schucks... Thanks. Now if I would actually get out to LBV every once in a while, that would make it all worthwhile. Curt ... [Non-text portions of this...
I have also been going there for almost 20 years and value it highly. As time goes on, i have found increasing amounts of garbage around the site, especially...
