Club Outings

Saturday 5/21 @9am - Swetsville Zoo
Let's meet in the Swetsville Zoo parking lot at 9am - 4801 E Harmony Rd, Fort Collins.
The zoo has hundreds of fun sculptures that Bill Swets has created from machine parts.
The zoo is for sale, and when it sells we probably won't have access anymore, so we should visit it while we still can

The reservoir is normally open dawn to dusk, but I verified at Ft. Collins’ website that the event is listed as Lunar Eclipse, Sunday May 15 at Fossil Creek Reservoir; reservations are required via the above link.  The event will be held in the parking lot; I suspect a limited number of scopes will be available.  Participants can drop in anytime.
