Was going to go camp at bald hill to check out the meteor shower but given the weather I might pass and just try and drive somewhere for a quick squiz with the wife before heading home.

Any spot suggestions within a 45 ish min drive that have a good view north and not a ton of light pollution?

Yeah, thought I'd try for it since the moon phase is good too...

But I can't go tonight because I'm on call for work, gotta be Sunday so camping isn't the best for work in the morning. Time will also depend on the work thing.

Thanks for the suggestions, I'm NOR, was thinking about John Forrest NP but will also depend on cloud cover and smoke from any fires started by the thunderstorm.

Not sure I'm North enough for beach to be the go but worth thinking about.

    Did you end up going last night? Ended up pretty stormy, did it clear up in time?

    We did, but left home pretty late so didn't go as far out at planned.

    Ended up at bells rapids and watched from around 12:45-1:30. The wind was blowing but it was warm and we took cocoa. No clouds in sight ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ

    Saw some good ones. Tried to get some pics with trails but no luck. Was only working with a phone camera.

    Will have to camp the next time it lines up with the moon phase.
