The USFS has begun closing parts of the National Forest in northern Arizona due to the very high fire danger. So far, DCT is NOT in the closure area, but the telescopes at Anderson Mesa are. Lowell will be working to get USFS permission to access the telescopes during this closure. USFS Coconino National Forest closure orders and information can be found on the Coconino National Forest Web Page. Please keep an eye on this situation. Safety is our number one concern, and the fire danger is very real. |
