BIG SKY COUNTRY

We’ve watched the sun rise and set over the Pacific, the Atlantic, the Mediterranean, the China Sea, the Baltic Sea, and the North Sea. And over a pond in York Township. 





The view here includes east, west, south, and half the north sky. 
















City lights are exciting and fun, but they wash away the stars. Our night sky is like a planetarium because luckily, there are no big farm lights nearby. 





The Milky Way, the space shuttle, eclipses, and Hale-Bopp-- we have viewed them all from our front row seats on the deck.






Move over, Montana. Move over, Colorado.
Make way for the flatlands.
