One of the best rewards in Snake Valley is when we get draped every night with one of the greatest night skies in the country. This month there was a Perseid Shower. The moon rise was early, so if I was going to catch it I had to get out in between 9:00 - 10:20 pm. I decided to take my gear to Wheeler Peak Overlook; 10,000 ft. Even though the park has been really busy this summer, I had the place to myself. Stellar.
Funny that looking at the night sky makes you feel like the only one on earth; but really it connects us all. For a good hour, I soaked it in. Mostly, I had fun taking photos of the bright Milky Way....
