Full Moon Run #59 - Full Snow Moon
Hares: Mount 'N Spread and Out of Order
Start location: Lagerfields at Paradise Valley Mall (site of on-after as well)
Park to the east of the bar - look for hashers. Bar is at southwest corner of PV Mall parking lot - across the street from the REI/Target strip mall.
Di-Erections: From 51 - exit Cactus. Go East to N Paradise Village Parkway W and turn North (towards Mall). Lagerfields is rust-brown colored freestanding bar - turn into parking lot and drive through to mall lot just east of bar and park there for pre-lube. Be discreet for pre-lube as we don't want to attract mall security.

Other: Bring a camp chair for circle as we are going to TRY to view the lunar eclipse before heading (!) to the on-after.
Total Lunar Eclipse
On Wednesday evening, February 20th, the full Moon over the Americas will turn a delightful shade of red and possibly turquoise, too. It's a total lunar eclipse—the last one until Dec. 2010.
A lunar eclipse happens when the Moon passes through the shadow of Earth. You might expect the Moon to grow even more ashen than usual, but in fact it transforms into an orb of vivid red.
