Mojave Star Party cancelled due to rain and risk of flash floods.

Sorry everyone, but based on the weather outlook, including the torrential rain/flooding in southern California (Death Valley, Highway 58, I-5 yesterday) and a dismal forecast for today through Sunday, we are cancelling the Mojave National Preserve Star Party slated for Saturday night. We'll reschedule in the spring. Take care, stay safe and dry and we'll see you out under an urban sky soon, if we have a telescope quorum, we may be out next Saturday, Oct 25th, I'll let you know. We're also cancelling a potential Monrovia Sidewalk Astronomy event tomorrow night, as the local forecast is fog.
