Outdoor "decorative" lighting RANT!
Ok, I have four solar lights that I put out near the door to light a pathway in and out to walk the dog. I've got some outside lights that we burn for a gathering. BUT some people are over the top. ...

You guys who want lights don't want to camp at Cherry Springs State Park, Pennsylvania. One of the rules is "NO WHITE LIGHTS are allowed, please dim your flashlight with a red filtering material or a paper bag." Another is: "No white or bright light sources are permitted on the observation field unless it is 100% cloudy. If you have an interior car light or running lights that come on automatically, the must either be disabled or blacked out. All flashlights must have a red or green lens cover or
filter. Computer or video screens must be red or green filtered and dimmed so they do not bother others. Flash photography is prohibited." And another is: "Campfires are prohibited on the observing field."
Thanks for the link. I can out that on my "don't bother list" no way I would put up with such silly rules. Stargazing is something I can do every clear evening right outside my back door at home. Strikes me as a park for people normally blinded by the city lights but still want a thin slice of country living and beauty. That's ok I guess, just so long as they don't crowd my day to day living.
