was thinking that a cool QNY activity might be to manually calculate the circumference of the earth. Get a couple sticks and string and measure shadow lengths and perhaps pace out some distances and recreate a millenia old experiment. Just a thought for a possible side trip activity to accompany QNY or perhaps on a day close to it, the equinox perhaps?

Comments:
Excellent. Maybe we could do it by moonlight - lunar noon being more compatible with our schedule than solar noon.
 
I think this is a great idea. I agree that finding a time with all available (including our friend Sol) could be tough. Saturdays are always good.
