meteor shower

Looks like I need to take the Jeep over to the parking lot in Cades Cove Saturday night. Shouldn't get any light interference there and will have plenty of open area.

CM, I don't think people will be too upset with his toes if they're Vols orange.

Partly cloudy for the Reno area on Saturday night, not optimum viewing conditions, but still favorable. Maybe a trip up to Mt. Rose is in order.

A few years back, Skullcap, Buddur, Gonzo & myself were at the North Fork Ridge watching them in the middle of the night on a crystal clear evening about 3,500 feet up. It was one of those backpacking experiences you don't forget.

the North Fork Mountain trail in WV is one of the most perfect hiking trails in the east, to hike it in a meteor shower, probably doesn't get much better than that.

Yeah, I love the NF Trail, hiked it many times. Even ran into a scary dude named HOI there once! :)

LOL - yeah and when I introduced myself as "HOI" Buddha Bear and Gonzo came back with their real names - fortunately Buddur and Buddur Dog came along and I recognized Buddur Dog

that meteor shower is still my number 1 experience backpacking - absolutely fantastic

Hell, yeah, I can drive with orange toenails.

I told her next time to paint them "take me to bed red"

go easier on the booze this time - wouldn't want another person to lose a tooth by falling into the fire and trying to eat a log

The field just before the Walls of Jericho might be a great place to watch this as well...
