DAY OFF REPORT
It was a nice, cool day at the Ranch and it sent everyone scrambling for a jacket after the sun went down. Right now, I am listening to campers walk past my window (after having been to the store and therefore burdened with trinkets and snack food) as they are looking up at the sky and gazing at the stars.
Here, on a moonless night, you can see a lot of things up in the sky. You can see the Milky Way, which looks like a cloud in the sky but is actually stars in our galaxy that are so close together they form an almost billowing appearance in the heavens. Also with the naked eye most of our guests will be able to see light reflecting off of satellites in low-Earth orbits. The trick is to stare at a single point in the sky, when something that's moving enters your field of vision (and its not a plane) it's probably something man-made orbiting the Earth at high speeds. Finally, you'll also probably see a few shooting stars burning up above during high velocity entry into the Earth's atmosphere. They often burn in different colors, intensities, and some extend for several dozen miles. Each one is a wonder to behold.
I am glad we are able to host your camper up here in the mountains, away from the lights of the city and the pollution that comes along with the progress we achieve as humans. However, nights like these remind me that we were always meant to be among the stars, with our creator. I hope that we can teach our children and their children to stop, come away into creation, & marvel at the universe and it's Master Designer.
Wishing all of our parents, grandparents, and camp family a good night!
