The Skokie Valley Astronomers meet at Ryerson Woods Conservation Area for short talks, then stargazing. Perhaps you will see this lovely lady in the sky. For information when the next meeting will be, check their website: http://www.lcfpd.org/ryerson_woods_center/index.cfm?fuseaction=home.view

In the event that you are there during the day, you’ll have to find her in the woods. Start off down the path to the south of the parking lot over by Brushwood (used to be the old visitor's center, before they built the nice new one.) The path will quickly come to a T. Go left. This trail will lead you along the woodland trail. Eventually you will come around to the DesPlaines River. Pay attention to the bridges as you go. When you reach two bridges rather close together, one from the 1995 Bridge Project, and the other from the 1993 Youth Conservation Corps Project, stand on the path between the two bridges. Off the side of the path away from the river you will find the concrete foundation of some ancient building. Pick you way over to it, making sure you don’t crush the little plants. The box is at the northwest corner under a loose chunk of concrete and some leaves. Rehide it well.
