We went over to the Oregon Observatory located in Sunriver. It was a beautiful drive, where sun protection was needed. (For me at least. I will get a sunburn in a car.)

On Sunday afternoon, two Crewmembers ventured out in order to see the newly released film, "Project Hail Mary" based on the book with the same title written by Andy Weir.
