Congrats Jon. In my early days of observing, I went there once or twice when the (a?) previous owner was trying to attract amateur observers. I recall I had a great time observing my first double moon transit of Jupiter. Driving out in the early hours of the morning was done with caution - the gravel road was as advised: "this is a steep winding gravel road with numerous 'blind spots', tight corners, fallen debris, kangaroos and other hazards.)" At that time there were no facilities apart from a concrete slab which is all I wanted. Soon after that he moved into the professional astronomy market, setting up the large observatory for remote scopes. Also Snake Valley Observatory was getting established and was my preferred location for a number of reasons.
