Head for the boonies -- meteor shower Sunday nite . . .

[profdant139]

Great meteor shower -- no moon -- colorful meteors.

But I can't go -- there is nowhere to camp in Calif due to Covid closures.

I'll have to wait for another year. Oh, well. Can't really whine about this when so many other folks have it so much rougher than I do.

No meteors -- cloudy weather in the desert. But the trip was fun anyways. Trip report will be posted in a new thread, maybe in a couple of weeks, after I get all my gear cleaned up from all the dust in the desert!! 😉

And there is no moon, so you can watch the meteors zip across the aurora. Bundle up and enjoy!!

Don't know about SoCal, but maybe Northern California could see a light show along with the meteor shower show tonight if the sky is clear.

Should be great where I am, eh.

[profdant139]

Yep. Sunday night into Monday morning.

Is the meteor shower this weekend? I've been debating going out this weekend since the trailer is still at home full of food.

Clickable Link to BLM page, which says . . .

"Despite facility closures, millions of acres of BLM-managed public lands across California remain open to enjoy, as long as you do so responsibly and safely." 

Good lookin' out, Twisted!!

Youre in SD right? Head out to buttercup.

I just found out that the BLM is still allowing boondocking (but not campground camping). That is official policy, or so I was told. That opens up some possibilities . . . .

Camping is still good to go in SoCal deserts. The rangers are not busting nice camping people.

I was boondocking in anza borrego last weekend. The ranger drove up and glanced at my campsite on his way by. That was the extent of his interaction.

[profdant139]

I live in suburban SoCal -- there are about ten stars in the sky on a good night.

And flyboy, even boondocking is a no go in the national forests.

2020 is just not my year. Next year is going to be better, I think!!

How about Boondocking?

Just watched the space station go by. I think I will be able to see them and the satellites going by.
