It felt really good to get out and spend some time under the stars with a couple of friends last night. I was unable to get out in April, May or June so I was hoping the skies would be clear of cloud and smoke. A large thunderstorm had passed by as the sun set. We weren’t sure the clouds would clear but as the sky got darker and the air got cooler what was left of the clouds dissipated quickly as astronomical twilight ended. The sky was as phenomenal as ever. We saw quite a few meteors, heard some unique bird sounds. It was a peaceful night, despite the alcohol-induced volume of a few individuals at a nearby campground.
