> Parks have time restrictions
OMG THIS.
So, I found about the last meteor shower one day before its peak. So my idea was to find a place – any place – that wasn't near any buildings. Forget about light pollution, I just wanted a sky devoid of direct lights. So, parks would be a nice option.
But try as I might, I couldn't find any parks that would allow me to stay after 6PM. There's one in Palo Alto that allows that for 'stargazing', but you have to request a permit in advance.
A permit? Really? For stargazing in a notorious light-polluted area? And that has to be filed in advance in business days? Come on.
At this rate I expect that you won't be allowed to park in the middle of nowhere in Nevada after the sun goes down.
