re: #44 DaddyG

I remember a similar experience when I was a kid - probably around 8. Camping with my folks, and I woke up in the middle of the night. Had to pee. Went outside to do my thing, and the milky way was splashed all across the night sky. I think it was winter so it was the Orion side of things. Absolutely breathtaking. Even to the 8-year-old boy who just got done trying to pee on the crickets jumping around.
