I've spent quite a bit of time backpacking in Pennsylvania. One of my favorite places is a reservoir where they lower the water level drastically in the winter months. You can walk out to where it's normally underwater, lie on your back and have a 360 degree unobstructed view of the night sky. There are so many stars that you can't pick out constellations. I've seen what i assume were satellites, a continous red glare moving incredibly fast and silent. Unfortunately development is encroaching. First a new highway then a casino.

    Have you been to Cherry Springs? The stargazing there is really amazing.
