Full Moon on Ram Head
Full Moon on Ram Head
We're tentatively planning to hike out to Ram Head on Monday evening, March 29th to watch the moon rise. This idea was mentioned some time back, and at that time TouristTrapCheryl expressed interest.
If anyone else is on island at the end of the month and wants to join us, please holler. I haven't really formulated much of a plan except that I think a headlamp will be involved. I guess I need to research what time the moon will rise that evening.
Respond here or PM me if you want to join us.

This is probably one of the coolest hikes that I have ever done! We did this on our first full day there. Mind you this was on Sunday after checking out Salt Pond and the bay in the morning, Miss Lucy's for brunch, Maho, Woody's, Quiet Mon, God knows what else, Pain Killers at the Beach Bar and a beautiful sunset over Cruz Bay! We skipped the Full Moon Party back at Miss Lucy's, strapped on the headlamps and hiked up the trail. Awesome! Awesome! Awesome! When we reached the top looking out over the moonlit ocean words cannot describe! We were also greeted by the Soldier Crab Brigade?? WTF!!! Why were they all the way up there? It just added to the surrealness of it all! I am jealous. I would do this hike again in a heartbeat! There will be no full moon when we are there in May but a sunrise hike is part of my plan. Happy Hiking!

Well... I thought since the full moon is actually at 2:28 am on Tuesday, that the right day to do this was on Monday evening. But, what do I know. Do we know for sure that Miss Lucy's has their Full Moon Party scheduled for Tuesday night? I suppose some folks might want to go there after the hike. Either way, I'm pretty flexible.Pia wrote:Yes March 30th - are you going to go on the 29th and wait for it Lovermont

According to the Moon Tables in the Old Farmer Almanac for zip Code 00830 Mon, March 29th at 7:17pm is the Official Full Moon. March 30 is what they call 100% Moon, 97% on either Sun or Wed.
Moonrise on Tue March 30 is 8:18pm.
So either day is good depending on what time is best and/or weather conditions.
