190km every month except May around the New Moon for Deep Sky. (N32.926 W99.2346) It's called Fort Griffin State Historical Park. Over the years we've formed a good relationship with the park rangers and they let us go up to the old fort to observe after normal park visiting hours. They ask for a small (tiny) fee of $2 USD to stay the night and they'll let you pitch a tent to sleep it off the following morning. Normally there are between 3 and 12 guys there on moonless weekends.
Once a year I go to the Texas Star Party (750km) near the McDonald observatory in Fort Davis, TX.
