[geysers]Perseids

[Dave TAYLOR]

I was at Canyon the night of the 12th, and in the backcountry (near
Joseph's Coat Springs, approx. 9 miles east of Canyon) on the 13th. 
Although both nights were very dark, (the 13th of course darker than the
12th), I was a little disappointed in the activity I saw.  Both nights I
watched from twilight until 11:30.  Each time, I would wait as long as 5
minutes for a meteor, and I never saw any that 'wowed' me.  I wasn't
watching during the 'prime' times, however, and the treelines in both
areas restricted my view of the sky within 20 degrees off ground level.

Thanks,
Dave Taylor

Just wondering if anyone in the park (or out) caught the Perseid
meteor
shower on the 12th.  My little black cloud followed me all the way out
to New Jersey, where we had a heavy, inescapable overcast, and I'd
read
they were supposed to be quite nice this year.
