Roper Lake State Park Road Trip
I have a reservation for cabin #8. It's the best cabin IMHO. It's lakefront. We can use this cabin as a gathering place. No bathrooms in the cabins. Bathrooms are nearby. Showers further away.
The reservation is good 3 nights starting Sunday May 12, Monday May 13 and Tuesday May 14. Checking out on May 15th.
It's only $70 a night and sleeps 4-6 people. Lots to do in the immediate area. Gila river, Mt. Graham ( should be spectacularly snow capped, Hot Well Dunes Hot Springs, Essence of Tranquility etc. Just South of Safford AZ. Roper has campgrounds and other cabins available.

It's a 2 hour drive East from Tucson.

Hi Everyone,
Possible Solar storm as strong as the Carrington event on May 11! Watch the northern horizon for possible 5-10 thru 5-12 or even likely Northern lights. This could be the Big one! Solar Sunspot Maximum is due.

Potential Impacts: Area of impact primarily poleward of 45 degrees Geomagnetic Latitude.
Induced Currents - Possible widespread voltage control problems and some protective systems may mistakenly trip out key assets from the power grid. Induced pipeline currents intensify.
Spacecraft - Systems may experience surface charging; increased drag on low earth orbit satellites, and tracking and orientation problems may occur.
Navigation - Satellite navigation (GPS) degraded or inoperable for hours.
Radio - HF (high frequency) radio propagation sporadic or blacked out.
Aurora - Aurora may be seen as low as Alabama and northern California.
