White River Clear Sky Chart prediction for the next
48 hours

White River Star Party Location Jun 12 & Aug 7, 2010 You will be setting up on asphalt and there is a pit toilet on the south side of the parking lot. The nearest gas/snacks are at Government Camp. There is no registration for star parties at this location, just show up and enjoy the evening. You don't even need a telescope to participate; other members are enthusiastic to share their views. If you are new to observing here is some information on Star Party Etiquette, Star Party Supplies and Star Party Tips. It can always be very cold at night no matter what the season, so bring warm clothing.
If you have any further questions email the Star Party Chairman.

From Portland, take Hwy 26 east towards Mt. Hood. Shortly past Government Camp, you will see a sign for Hwy 35 (Hood River turn off). Take this exit and go approximately 4.2 miles and look for a green sign marked "White River Canyon BSA Lodge Parking". Go past the BSA entrance roughly 50 yards and turn left into a large Forest Service parking area. If you cross the White River, you've gone about 50 yards too far. |
