    Aug 12 Winding Stair, OK Perseid Watch

    This is a Sunday night, so I don't expect any play, but I thought I'd post it anyway.

    Winding Stair Campground is on top of Winding Stair Mountain in the Ouachita National Forest.

    The Perseid meteor shower peaks the night of the 12th/morning of the 13th. My plan is to arrive Sunday afternoon, get set up, get to bed early with an alarm set for oh-dark-thirty. Drink coffee, watch the sky, greet the sun, and decamp before the heat sets in. Kind of a tradition for me.

    All are welcome.

    Hope you get clear skies and cool breezes. Wish I could get there, too, but we're expecting the Perseids to reach West Virginia shortly before or after you see them. Thanks for the reminder.

    Thanks for this heads-up OldGringo. I'll be in Yosemite so you can bet we will add this to our evening's schedule.

    If the Monday morning commute to Houston wasn't such a bear, I'd be there.
