A mass of innumerable stars planted together in clusters

On the weekend of October 10 and 11, arkuat and I went camping at Great River Bluffs State Park.

Sounds like a wonderful weekend. Boo on getting a cold, though.

[pameladean]

Yeah, that was no fun at all; fortunately I didn't have a very busy week planned after the trip.

What a beautiful description of lovely scenery and what sounds like a wonderful weekend. Thank you for sharing this!

[pameladean]

Thanks for reading it! I mostly wanted it for my own recollection, so I'm really pleased people enjoyed reading it.

Sounds like a fantastic camping trip! I enjoyed your details of flora and colors. And--of course--your tales of star watching. Certainly is easy to get lost amongst the stars. Isn't it?

[pameladean]

It certainly is, fellow star-watcher!

I learned about averted vision from Juniper, Gentian, and Rosemary and have used it to look at the night sky many times since (and always think of you when I do).

Sounds like a lovely trip. Thank you for sharing it with us!

Oh, that's a lovely tidbit about learning about averted vision from JG&R. I learned a lot from Gentian myself -- I always feel most of her astronomical knowledge is locked up in her head, but I did retain that part.

Thanks for reading! I'm really just very pleased anybody liked the entry, it was so long.

Praise from Sir Hubert is praise indeed! Thank you.
