What were the skies like when you were younger?

So much light pollution. I grew up without mountains and now live somewhere with mountains. Miss that wide open sky. Day and night.

High desert mountains are, or were, a great place to see the Milky Way. You had the mountains and the openness. It's been a few years or 20 for me, though. No idea if those places are still dark enough.

You might still see it in the desert.
