When I was out in Fort Davis from May 14 to June 1 this year, I had to fight the urge to just sit back and stare at the incredible Milky Way.
Two weeks? We barely stayed two nights on the way back from Carlsbad Caverns and it was enough to make me consider that area as a retirement spot. My backyard is in orange, but I have some land a few minutes out in green that seems dark to me on a good night. (Most of the easier Messier objects can be picked out naked-eye from there with a little practice.) Compared to Fort Davis, I might as well be doing my observing from downtown Las Vegas.
