We absolutely love our current campsite. It has a more open view of the lake yet we still have some trees to the backside of us. It is a large site and plenty private. I had a surprise earlier this week when I took Millenni out to pee one night before heading to bed. I glanced up at the night sky and could see the Milky Way stretched out across the sky. WOW! I am always in awe whenever I see it. I didn’t realize the sky was particularly dark here and there was a moon setting in the western sky giving off some glow yet I cold still see the Milky Way. Since then each night I have gone out when the sky has been clear and there it is. Absolutely magnificent! Below are a couple of photos that I found on the web. These are not photos I took but I am giving credit to the people who did so I hope it is OK to use their pictures here.
This is very similar to the view of the milky way I saw.photo by: James Duncan Davidson
