This morning a friend sent me this article from USA Today .Com about 'Dark Sky Parks.' I decided to mention this on the Forums in case any of you are planning a summer driving trip. I am not familiar with any of these locations, but they sound fantastic. Google the article or try this link: http://usat.ly/1LZPGOV
Please give me a sky report if you end up going to any of these places!
FYI,
Brandon

Excellent story! Thanks for posting that, Brandon.
The fear is that we won't know what we've lost, until it's gone. Of course, by then, it's too late.

Hey Brandon, I just saw this article now. Very good, thanks for sharing! It would be great to see a sky that dark.
