answered Nicole's questions

Phil and I convinced Nicole to visit the CAO. She started peppering us with questions on Friday afternoon. Through Facebook messaging, I explained things. Reminded her to bring a sleeping bag or sheet set. And towels. That she could pay her fee here. Cautioned her about GPS directions as we each reviewed the local map (that I had designed and Dietmar had sent her). Told her that her room was ready! She was happy.

I learned, in our online chat, that Dietmar had not sent her the directions document, the companion to the map. More importantly, he had not sent the CAO Site Facilities Manual. I thought that very strange. I sent the manual PDF by email. I also sent her my "getting out of Dodge map" and we discussed different routes out of the GTA.

Once she had the book, it answered other questions she had, like if there was power at the Observing Pad. She was excited to learn that we have solar 'scopes.

Finally, she asked were there was a Tim's. Ha ha! I advised her to stock up in Orangeville!
