White Mountains 2015

by: Dave Flynn

Over the weekend of August 14th, 2015 The Local Group traveled up to The White Mountains, California for our annual dark sky camping trip.  These are always a great time and this year was no exception!  The astronomy is always fantastic and the fellowship and comradrie is wonderful.  We had a bit of a chalenge this year with all the smoke from the "Rough" and "Walker" fires burning to the West.  Still, we were treated to a fantastic show from the Perseids and the exceptionally dark skies provided wonderful views of our favorite summertime objects.
