Hmmm...it might be a bit of a hassle to travel for hours just to escape the city lights.
I heard an interesting story...not sure if it is true or not and not sure where this occurred...
I heard that when there are city-wide blackouts, there are always people calling emergency services because they are afraid of what they see in the sky...a strange white patch stretching across the sky.
I think it's sad when people have never even seen the Milky Way because of city lights.
