Set up: We will be observing from the playground blacktop of the school. This is behind the building and opposite the main parking lot. ASKC Members can either park in the main parking lot out front and transport their scopes back to the playground area (there is a paved path to do so) or they can park along N. Monroe St. (550 N. Monroe St. Olathe, KS 66061 should take your GPS to the right location) and transport their scopes directly to the playground - it’s a much shorter trip going from this direction.
