Greetings from another new member. Joining a forum can be like attending a new ward for the first time, I think. We are all the same, and we all different. I love living in Utah.  As my user name suggests, I'm into stargazing.  An Utah has some of the darkest skies in the continental United States.  Dark skies are a vanishing natural resource what with the ever-growing light pollution, but here in Utah it is still a treasure.

Welcome to the forums. It's nice to meet you.

In my navy days we could see stars from one end of the horizon to the other...but it still wasn't worth the lack of land. Welcome aboard!

I love being up in the mountains or out in the desert and seeing the amazing stars! Welcome to the forums.

There is an old mill to the east of Bicknell, with a turn-out, park bench, and commemorative plaque.  I stopped out there last year and lay on my back one night looking at all those stars for an hour.

It reminded me of sailing in Mexico, off the coast in the Pacific, and doing the same thing.  I think I saw more out at sea, tho'.

I love stopping in the Nevada desert and looking at the stars.  It is amazing when you see stars at the horizon, or the milk of the Milky Way.  Something us city dwellers forget exists.

Welcome to the site !! I love living in the Midwest and wished I could move to Nauvoo

I'm jealous--stargazing in Washington is pretty hopeless...too many clouds and trees.  

 

Welcome.
