Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Astronomy Interest?

[Mac Thomson (macthomson]

David,

We have amazing night skies here at Heartwood. We live in southwest Colorado at 
7000’ in the high desert / mountain dry air. We have some folks who are into 
astronomy, but it’s not really a community mission, per se. We do keep 
artificial night lighting to a minimum.

I think we’ve got a few night ski photos on our website:

Cheers,
Mac
