That would be like putting a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup in front of me and saying, "But you can't eat it." No chance...if I'm going to go to the summit, I'm going to go all the way. 36" is the biggest I've looked through, and that's pretty cool, now Keck would be the ultimate cool. :-) But it will more than likely never happen anyway.

Looks like a great place for a picnic. :) Hehe, I’d be perfectly happy just standing on the summit by the domes.

Last year when I was hanging out all night with an AA who was hunting asteroids, he told me about his trip there. So many rules about what you can drive up there, what you can do, etc., etc. It would be truly awe-inspiring to look through those telescopes. There's something very romantic about observatories; their unusual shape, their isolation..the closest thing to being in a spaceship without leaving the ground. I would love to go there.
