Re: NNSF
Mike - when you check in, discuss it with the Committee people there. Depending on the amount, there might be room in the garage to store it - otherwise the best bet it to store it in your bunkhouse room. There should be carts and wagons available to help move things, and people willing to help! Valts

I set up my C-11 at Tamarack Nature Center in White Bear. About 25 or so passers-by caught the transit, and I was able to get some shots myself.
