Couldn’t agree more.
Another childhood memory from Tucson: sitting on the front yard grass on a cool, clear night, looking up and just being overwhelmed at the millions of stars stretching from horizon to horizon.
There’s a reason for that observatory on Mount Lemon.
(Unfortunately, I’ve read there is now a lot of light pollution from all grown up Tucson and astronomical observation is more difficult.)
That’s too true.
I live here alongside Ft. Huachuca. You see nowhere as many stars from the Sierra Vista side as you do when camping at Parker Canyon Lake on the other side of the mountains.
