Say,
does anyone have any plans for the upcoming meteor shower on the weekend of the 22nd?
I was wondering if the top of the tram would be dark enough for a night time view of this event? :?:

I bet Florian knows a good spot. He is a local hiker who is very much into astronomy: http://www.stargazing.com/

You might actually be better off going low rather than high, or at least you can save yourself some bucks, by going to the Thousand Palms Oasis out in Thousand Palms--there is a stargazing group that goes out there a lot to watch the meteor showers, etc.
