Smack in the middle of the Massacre Rim Dark Sky Sanctuary in Northwestern Navada sits an Airbnb called the Rockin’ TD Ranch. The nearest town is Cederville, CA, population 530, which is 20 miles west down a dirt road. Alturas is another 30 miles west so the term middle of nowhere is apropos.

I love the image of antares with the filamentary nebulous detail and M4s little cousin!
Id go there if I wasn't across the country...

Looks like an amazing place. How the heck would you get to it though? Where would you fly into??

Looks like something to consider! Google says it's a 10 hour drive from my house.

I'd go into Reno. I've been east, SW and SE of this place and Reno was best airline destination back then. Drives and distances from Reno are ~long but they're interesting & beautiful.

 

Google says it's only 28 hours from here.       That's a pretty good haul for an old man though. Might make a good 2.5 week trip.

Thanks for posting this, and It's 914 miles from me. I live in Bortle 7-8 skies, and I have been to a Bortle 4 once, so that would be a great vacation.
