Deep South Regional Stargaze
October 14th - 18th, 2009
For the past four years (2005-2008), the DSRSG has been held at Camp Ruth Lee, near Norwood, Louisiana. While we greatly enjoyed our time at Camp Ruth Lee, due to significant concerns about its long-term viability, a move to a new venue has become unavoidable. Fortunately, we didn't have to move far! Our new location is the Feliciana Retreat Center, at 10274 Hwy 422, Norwood, LA 70761. The FRC is located on the same highway as Camp Ruth Lee. In fact, the two "observing fields" are less than two miles from each other, in a straight line.
