Awesome, Muriel. How did you like Lake Sonoma?

I loved it!
More or less the same distance as Coe or H2O from Orinda. The drive was beautiful at sunset in through the vineyards. 
The sky was really dark, I could see the milky way distinctively and the glow of M31. 
Nice group of people too. I learned a few things and saw deep sky objects that blew my mind. It does not get any better than that.

I’m going to have to get out there one of these days.

I saw a lot of them too.  They were very bright, like a fireball streaking through the sky.  More impressive than the simple light streaks of typical meteor showers.
