Whats the deal with forum posters who have nothing better to do but post "What's the deal with(insert complaint item here)" threads? :R

Just an FYI, I have never been in a place that was "complete darkness" and I've spent hundreds of nights boat and land camping. Even during a new moon, it is amazing how much starlight reaches the ground. There are very few places in this country anymore that are considered black sky areas and in those areas, the stars and moon are more than enough to see the terrain. If it is cloudy, terrestrial light bounces off the clouds (that's what gives the night sky its red color). One of the most beautiful things in life is watching the universe slide across the sky. Turn off your lights for a while and go outside. There is an entire world out there.

The good news is I don't have to. Ever since electricity was invented we have these fine things called lights so we don't have to trip over things in the dark. Been there, done that, don't want to repeat the incident so I'll use lights. It's not for your convenience, it's for mine.

Geee, I got a very nice compliment on my rope lights last night. I only have one string, blue, & it hangs on the awning right behind the frings.

It gives just enough light to be just enough light & does not attract the bugs. It does not blaze light into a neighbours site either. Now, how neat is that!

Gee, I feel so enlightened Now...I always wondered what those lights in the sky were! Thanks for the FYI....God forbid if the campground has any lights in it at all.

No kidding, glad to know there are other people who feel that way too.

Nice ....I see what you guys are doing, working the outside light light rant into a dog******rant. Now we just need to work Walmart and guns into this and we are off to a ten pager. :R

Exactly what I was thinking! Can't even get through one thread without the grumpies complaining. :B

Seriously, they started out here. We get so high on camping that we need a good landing strip when we come down (for a soft landing). Besides, it's not camping without the Kenwood's Polk Atriums pouring Pink Floyd and a pair of programmable tubed LED special-effects lighting running off the Optima AGM...(Almost forgot to throw the WalMart ammo into the campfire...(POPS).

Very well said.
