So they gather equipment, found access to land, and headed that way. Full blown nerdgasm.

Shadows on an old wheelbarrow in my yard... Title: Re: August 12, 2045 Post by: patric on September 08, 2017, 09:48:04 am Im not an astronomy person, but if you have never seen the Northern Lights at least once, you live a deprived life.
Here's tonight's prediction. (https://media.clickondetroit.com/photo/2017/09/07/aurora%20forecast_1504810595352_10562342_ver1.0.png) Look at the red View Line and find Oklahoma. See that first big bright speck beneath it? You are here. Title: Re: August 12, 2045 Post by: heironymouspasparagus on September 08, 2017, 10:58:58 am I hope to be really old by then. That's only mid 90's. Not that old.... I plan to watch it from the comfort of my front porch! With a whiskey sour. I'm betting against getting to see the ones from the 2060's on...don't think the kids will be willing to take me to see them. Don't wanna be driving by that point. |
