Last time I was at Coffee Pot Lake, there was a fairly bright security light 
that stayed on all night :( I camped out there with my scope and boom that 
think popped on at dusk and stayed on until dawn.

I haven't been there yet but will probably try our next dark cycle weather 
permitting.

All the summer star parties are cancelled so I am looking for suggestions where 
I can camp under some dark skies in a relatively secluded spot. Any hidden gems 
within 3-4 hours drive of here?
