Yep, It gets dark out here at night.

The Trails Committee decided to host a moonlight hike, and it discovered that it does get dark out at night.  We met at Lane St to walk the RecPath and see the Hunter's Moon, and possibly even a comet.  But it was dark.

But we had a few headlamps and flashlights are were able to proceed without too much confusion.

It was a warm Thursday night so around two dozen people showed up.  No kids unfortunately, but it was a school night.  So off we headed out to the Land Trust Meadow.

We got some intrepid volunteers to go out into the meadow to try to see the comet, but we were looking in the wrong location in the sky.

There were some nice views of the full moon rising above the trees.  We headed out along the RecPath up to Wesley Drive and out toward the powerlines.

Where we got some good views of the moon and the stars near Great Ledge and Nells Loop Trail.  It was a beautiful night.

There was a nice view of The Big Dipper on our return thru the Land Trust Meadow.  Everyone made it back to Lane St. (we think), and had a good time.  Another nocturnal hiking adventure in the books.
