The upper Peninsula of Michigan has some good viewing as well.

You really need a dry landscape to see things this good.

I have a friend who goes to the Oki-Tex Star Party in Kenton, Ok. every year. It is so dry there that he could see the Earthshine rise above the horizon before the Moon rose. You can’t do that with any moisture in the air.

It’s so dark there that when it is cloudy, you can see nothing. The definition of Pitch Black.
