I have finally seen the Perseids like they needed to be seen! For years I've been trying to get anyone to go with me, outside of the city, in the dark dark dark, to see the meteor shower for reals! Last year was attempted but ended up in a large, empty, unevenly plowed field. The wind was blowing so hard and we gave into the cold before things got too good. But 2009, it finally happened!
The 2nd Annual Perseid Gathering was amazing!! We headed down to Little Sahara, about an hour and a half outside of Provo.
1. Little Sahara, Utah
We saw jack rabbits, mice and a HUGE snake on the drive down. It was the perfect temp outside and we got there just as the sun set. A campfire was built, a picnic dinner was eaten, and then we climbed to the top of a large sand dune. Laying on blankets in the warm sand was so comfortable. Off to the north we could see a summer storm...the lightning was spectacular. But the meteors...
oh.my.goodness.
I thought I had seen the meteor shower before. It was amazing! I saw an orange and purple fireball streak across the sky and break apart at one point. We had loads of fun and I'm excited for next year. If you have never seen them...you should plan on it next year, too. Completely worth it.
