Meteor Shower

Went to a ranger talk about bats that was very fun. Later we were able to hear and identify one variety flying over the meadow.

After, went off to a stargazing program. Laid out on a slab of granite under a clear, dark sky. Identified constellations and counted shooting stars. 125 in less than 90 minutes! Big tails - wow!

Off for the valley today. It got cold last night!

  1. I'm so jealous! I was up a few times Tuesday night and because the moon was so bright only saw one good one. Last night it got cloudy. Bummer.
