In-Town Dark Sky Observing at Ridgecrest School – Weather Permitting.
Please contact Greg Benecke to confirm that the gate will be opened!
Address: 28915 Northbay Rd. Rancho Pls Vrds, CA 90275
Take Hawthorne Blvd. south across Pacific Coast Hwy.; continue up the hill past Silver Spur and
turn left at Highridge. Go one mile and turn left on Whitley Collins, up one block and turn left on
Northbay Rd., the new parking lot is at the end on the left. Enter parking lot and turn left, the gate is
at the east end (it should be open about 15 minutes before sunset) and a paved road leading into
the playground where we have traditionally set up. If at all possible, drop your equipment off and
park your car in the new parking lot (less than 200 feet away). If you are absolutely certain that your
vehicle does not drip anything you can park with your equipment. Drive with care to avoid steel
pillars supporting basketball nets.
Note: If you are a visitor not bringing a scope, it is requested that you park in the small parking lot on Northbay Rd.
Alternate site: Rancho Del Mar High School
