the mountains in colorado. the views there are amazing. we were in
steamboat springs on vacation in june and the entire milky way was
visible with the naked eye. we went to fish creek falls, which is a
trail-head about five miles away from the town and like i said the
views are amazing. i didn't have any instruments avaible but my eyes
and my glasses. we saw 6 satalites in a time span of 15 minutes. we
are moving there in december and im expecting to be amazed when i get
my scope out there.
