Day 9
We woke up early today to start crunching data. This was pretty boring however the day was sure to brighten when we went on our short hike. This was a much easier hike however it was much more beautiful. We went up about an hour and a half, and the hike down took about an hour. The excitement really took off when we got back and decided to get wings as our takeout. The wings we got from Wing Stop and they were absolutely delicious. The night then continued with a movie the DA picked out for the trip. The video was a PBS video that talked about the road to Palemar. It talked about the 60 inch a Yerkes, then the 100 inch in California, and then the process of making the 200 inch. All in all this was a great video. It really sparked my interest in the development of telescopes over the years.

Watching them drive that massive mirror up the narrow gravel road had me at the edge of my seat. It's amazing what they managed to do.
