Oh goodness, both sound amazing, but how are they different? Can you hike during the day and look at the stars at night?

Hmmm, The place I'm looking to go for the backpacking is Charon's garden wilderness area. It's in the Wichita mountains wildlife refuge. 

 

I'm not sure what the stargazing is like there. I suppose it's better than any populated area.

 

The stargazing is in Black Mesa State Park. It has designated stargazing campsites that are 2 miles out in the park and have lighting restrictions after dark. 

The advert boasts that they have some of the best stargazing in the country. It's also a primitive campsite. 

 

Both are in Oklahoma.

Oh I see! 😊

 

Living right between Philadelphia and New York I don't see many stars at night, as you might imagine. I can only imagine the kind of stargazing you get to do in rural Oklahoma! That entire part of the country is very mysterious to me because I've never been further west than eastern Tennessee. Someday I hope that will change. Phil has an aunt and uncle in west Texas and we intend to visit them within the next two years. But yeah, I think both of your ideas sound amazing and whichever you decide to do will be really awesome! I couldn't even tell you which I would want to do more.

I live in a small town and my parents live a few miles out of town. You can see a lot of stars on clear nights.

 

It's still dark when I leave for work in the morning and I usually take a minute to glance up at the sky. I think it's important to hold on to the perspective of how tiny you are. 

Sometimes we think we're big in our minds but that's just a small part of everything.

Must be nice. All the stars are down here at night, on the chain restaurant signs and fluorescent lights. I can barely make out orion and pisces in the sky. It's better on camping trips, but I've never had the chance to see a full sky before.

 

Maybe one day I'll book it to Oklahoma and go to one of those low light DSP areas they have

Ok, back country hiking/backpacking trip or stargazing trip?

Hiking. Walking and thinking go together like peanut butter and jelly!

I'm an early bird because no one else is, which gives me a prime opportunity to walk around in total seclusion 

D-prime is shrinking as we speak.
