March is going to be good for sky watching

There's not that many places where you can escape noise and light pollution. That's what I don't like about suburbia. There's always shadows from street lights or exterior lighting and I can always hear the highway. It never truly gets dark and quiet. I'm not a new age person, but there is something about an absolute quiet and dark night that is akin to a spiritual experience.

The outer beaches of the Cape Cod National Seashore are about the best place I know of for the land lubber to get away from the background light and really get a good look at the Milky Way galaxy. More than once, I have been looking straight up at the stars or watching for Northern Lights, totally off-balance, not paying attention to reeling a plug and have a good fish hit.
