03: Going To Mauna Kea

Have you finished reviewing the observer's kit? Then let's go to Mauna Kea with a Subaru vehicle. One of Subaru's experienced staff will be driving the car. Don't forget to bring water since it is going to be an hour long drive and it helps combat high altitude sickness. Also, don't forget to use the restroom before you leave.
