Duffy Lk Rd - Roger's Ck

Roger's Creek west site.

We stepped into the creek bed to appreciate the view of the stars in the sky and within 10 seconds both saw a shooting star!

Judy saw another one later, but that was it for our 3 or 4 hours of watching. The longer we watched, the luckier our 1st 10 seconds became.

We did spot a satellite passing overhead, and I believe it was the International Space Stations (ISS) on the eve of the 40th anniversary of the 1st moon walk.

Also, for the first time ever, two Canadians were on board.
