Clear skies tonight mean for good views of the stars. It was cold out but clear. I remember going stargazing with friends in high school. We'd bundle up and then wrap up in blankets while we went to the baseball fields at the junior high school or down to the soccer fields at sixty acres. It was always fun to just look at all the different stars we could see and talk. Or sometimes just look and be together in silence.
The police came once when we were at sixty acres and said we couldn't be there after dark so we had to leave. Which was lame. I guess they can't really tell the difference between types of teenagers, but we were all the nerdy smart kids at school who looked at stars for fun. And we were literally looking at the stars out there, not doing drugs or drinking. Oh well, we still had a good time that night as well as on the many other nights we were out.
It was super good viewing up at Holden Village. It would be fun to go there again. It is a fun place to explore. A retreat up in the mountains on something of a hippie-type commune. They don't have much extra light there at night so the views of the sky are amazing.
I am thankful for some good stargazing weather.
