15. Saturday, July 22, 2006: Bigfoot Lecture and Star Study

Our guest lecturer presented a campfire chat on “Bigfoot,” an inhabitant of the Oregon and Washington Cascades.


He got the audience’s attention with an unexpected series of “Bigfoot calls.”


Jason and April (right) left Conclave after lunch, and within an hour of April’s (and her magickal cooling charm’s) departure, the clouds lifted and clear skies (and heat!) returned. This gave us a hot but wonderful final night for star study.

Participating in star study were Moonwriter, Kalla, Aaran, Cate, Lyonscribe, Watermusic, and Oranstar. We watched and plotted many stars in the night sky, which was blessedly dark with a new moon to come less than 48 hours later. Also, in less than an hour we spotted some 10 shooting stars and watching 6 satellite transits. The sky was so dark that we could literally see the Milky Way spilling overhead.
