It is a wilderness area with little population = also so there is virtually no artificial light. The Ohio River Valley = where I live was covered in dense fog on Friday night so I figured I = better make the three hour drive to the mountains. Boy, was it worth = it. A good choice also as my neighbor just told me the fog was like pea = soup last night. The period from 4:45 to 6:00 was the most intense. I counted 100 in a 6 = minute period. There were many times when as many as 5 were in front of = my face at one time. Many trains also. They were still streaking as = the sun started to brighten the sky. I caught a couple of hours sleep = in the back of my Jeep and then headed for home. Definitely one to = remember!!!
