Last night Brent and I loaded up the car with Brinkley Miles and some folding chairs and hit the road. We headed due East until the glow of the city disappeared and the only lights on the horizon were farm lights. Once we thought we far enough we turned down a dirt road and headed north for a stint. We pulled over and unfolded our chairs. Within minutes we saw our first meteor shoot across the sky!
Brinkley was a little confused. And eventually was more content in the car than surrounded by darkness near us. We saw a few bigger and longer meteors and a lot of smaller ones. It was pretty cool to see and worth the trip to the boondocks!! I googled how to attempt star photography about 10 minutes before we left. My first attempt turned out pretty darn good!! We may have to take more random late night drives!!
