February 2019 RV News
Sun City Grand RV Club Newsletter - February 2019 www.grandrv.org Important! New Meeting Room! Location Change! February 19, 2019 - The Hopi Room, Chaparral Center! (March 19 meeting will be held in the Hopi Room as well!) President: Penny Betcher President@Grand RV.org It was an interesting January meeting. With all the rain that day, I’m surprised we all didn’t wash away with the ducks. We all learned about inspecting our RV’s, who knew about some of that stuff? We also have some interesting speakers lined up for February and March meetings that the Vice President will be telling you about. We are beginning a new year with a lot of new faces, please remember to take a look at your information on the website, make sure it’s all correct. Maybe you purchased a new RV and haven’t updated your info, your wagon master needs current information when he/she is making reservations with the RV Park. So just check out your info on the web. We also have some Rally’s planned that are at capacity. If you want to go, add your name to the rally anyway. Often someone has to drop out for one reason or another so you may still make it on the rally. Keep checking the website for new rally’s also. And it’s not too early to think about next fall for a rally. Many of the State and National Parks need six or eight month reservations. So, let’s go RV’ing....where do you want to go???? Page !1 Vice-President: Janice Porter [email protected] Our February program will feature a presentation by John Alexopolos from Cummins.

Dark Sky Sanctuaries in Arizona
Dark Sky Sanctuaries in Arizona Eric Menasco NPS Terry Reiners Arizona is the astrotourism capital of the United States. Its diverse landscape—from the Grand Canyon and ponderosa forests in the north to the Sonoran Desert and “sky islands” in the south—is home to more certified Dark Sky Places than any other U.S. state. In fact, no country outside the U.S. can rival Arizona’s 16 dark-sky communities and parks. Arizona helped birth the dark-sky preservation movement when, in 2001, the International Dark Sky Association (IDA) designated Flagstaff as the world’s very first Dark Sky Place for the city’s commitment to protecting its stargazing- friendly night skies. Since then, six other Arizona communities—Sedona, Big Park, Camp Verde, Thunder Mountain Pootseev Nightsky and Fountain Hills—have earned Dark Sky status from the IDA. Arizona also boasts nine Dark Sky Parks, defined by the IDA as lands with “exceptional quality of starry nights and a nocturnal environment that is specifically protected for its scientific, natural, educational, cultural heritage, and/or public enjoyment.” The most famous of these is Grand Canyon National Park, where remarkably beautiful night skies lend draw-dropping credence to the Park Service’s reminder that “half the park is after dark Of the 16 Certified IDA International Dark Sky Communities in the US, 6 are in Arizona. These include: • Big Park/Village of Oak Creek, Arizona • Camp Verde, Arizona • Flagstaff, Arizona • Fountain Hills, Arizona • Sedona, Arizona • Thunder Mountain Pootsee Nightsky- Kaibab Paiute Reservation, Arizona Arizona Office of Tourism—Dark Skies Page 1 Facebook: @arizonatravel Instagram: @visit_arizona Twitter: @ArizonaTourism #VisitArizona Arizona is also home to 10 Certified IDA Dark Sky Parks, including: Northern Arizona: Sunset Crater Volcano National Monument Offering multiple hiking trails around this former volcanic cinder cone, visitors can join rangers on tours to learn about geology, wildlife, and lava flows.
