Cheddar Ranch Observatory celebrates its 20th year in 2025. We closed on the deed December 31, 2005.
I remember being out at CRO in the early spring when we started construction of the building. It was cold and windy! That must have been in 2007 or 2008, I did not move to OKC until 2006 and did not join the club until about then. I also remember hearing a squawking sound, looked up and saw a flock of cranes flying north.
Somewhere there are some photos that Dave and Ida took as we flew over on time when it was still under construction.
I can already start to hear stories at the Christmas Party, December 2025.
I Travis and many members now long gone but not forgotten helped put that place together over the course of 3ish years? i remember the rebar the plumbing all of it.i was also on the mowing crew for a couple of years before we got our new one. Sigh how time forgets…
