I think it's great that 21+ has over twice as many votes as 16-20 - it seems like once people get much over a dozen, they just go for it.

People talk about how you can’t see stars in the city and yeah, that’s true, but their concept of “seeing stars” is being able to make out orion’s belt.

So, so few people have see the sky in all its glory and it’s not sad. It’s a fucking crime. Seeing a perfectly dark night, no clouds, not a hint of light pollution? That’s a fucking religious experience.

The sky the vast vast majority of us grew up with is not the sky that inspired us to look up. It is not the sky that inspired constellations. You can’t even see most constellations.

Your ancestors looked at the night sky and said “surely, that is where the gods must live.” And you might be lucky if you can see hardly more than a handful of stars.

I took these photos on the Isle of Skye, in a place with no light pollution. Skies can look like this.

**Assume all times CAN include short rest stops / stretch-your-leg breaks but are otherwise "straight through" to your destination (i.e. no parking for sleep).
