Directions to Star Party Sites
Pawnee Prairie Grasslands (Cactus Flats)

Great Mapping Site Microsoft Terraplex  (Hint:turn OFF the cookies!!!!)
This site is on undeveloped parcel of prairie about 6 miles west of Briggsdale. Take
Colorado Highway 14 East from I-25 (Exit 269). From there about 19 miles east to the center
of Ault. The road is just BEFORE (west) of the milepost 170 (now you have gone 37 miles),
from the I-25/C-14 exit), now go NORTH, one mile, on dirt Ct.Rd.65.  The site is at the curve,
stop. You've made it. Now go through one of the gates on your right (no road), close gate and
set up. Beware of the cactus! 40* 39' 15" N  by 104* 26' 52" W (the Baker Draw Quad).
BUT!
In 2001 several houses were built one mile south of our site. One of the homesteads now
has a yard light that 'BEAMS' an objectionable ray of light at us.  So for a darker site go 1/2
mile DUE North this is Cactus Flats North, follow the dirt trail to a little draw, and setup on the
east side close to the trail. This little depression also results in blotting out about 10* of the
Denver/Greeley light dome and is nice and dark. You may use that site, if you stay at least within
a 100 yards of the trail and don't go 4-wheeling around the prairie. After torrential rains (ha ha)
two nice little ponds fill up.
Our standard nights are the weekend of the New Moon. Sometimes the weekend before and
the weekend after, IF the moon sets at an advantageous time.  If the weather is bad on a
Friday night we will try Saturday night and remember, Mother Nature always has first say.
(Nobody I know has a anti-cloud filter, yet!) Both sites are officially  wheelchair accessible,
but there are no facilities so bring essentials. Call Tom Teters, 970-482-5702 or write him
with questions about the star party status, site or dates.
P.S.  See the NCAS home page for the MoonCast! Thanks Randy.

• Turn west, this is the Red Feather Lakes road (74E), at Red Feathers turn left onto CR86, Deadman Rd. (dirt). Online maps show this road as CR86 and that is how it’s marked at Red Feathers, But as you drive up the road it’s marked as LCR162.
• Go past the Sand Creek Pass Rd. about 2 miles.
• The turn-off is about 200 yards past the Deadman Experimental Forest Road 260 (well marked, on left).
• The star party road turn-off is to the north (right), it's Forest Road 303 (the small sign sits back from CR86 about 20’)
• That makes it about 17 miles from the end of the pavement.  The site is about 100 yards off the road to the left and completely surrounded by trees, but with a low southern horizon the view is excellent.
• (This road is just before you start going down the mountain to the river valley to Four Corners, which is off the mountain).
• The coordinates are 40.82, -105.837
• Yes this is a GOOD clear air site. It's at 10,370 ft. and there are NO services.
• So bring your own TP, food, water, bug juice and WARM clothes, it can WILL get cold at night.
