Is going to cherry springs worth it?

[Username556]

I live 2 hours away from it and I’m kind of thinking about going but I just want to know if it’s worth a 4 hour round trip or not.

To go to a well known dark sky star party and hang out with like minded astronomers while checking out others rigs and having a great time, need i say more? I would drive several more hours for the same.

I don’t care about talking to other people, I strictly care about going for the night sky

I’ve been contemplating going to cherry springs for a while now, been to Headlands International Dark Sky Park in Michigan. Loved the spot but it’s a good 6hr hike but we’ll worth it as I stayed a few days in the area. Maybe you should look them up too, they have a ten million dollar facility there with observatory and accommodations, a fantastically planned dark sky park.

Eh I don’t want to go that far. The only reason why I’m even considering cherry springs is cause it’s 2 hours away and I could just rent a air bnb near there to stay a couple of nights and bring my pc and vr headset to keep me entertained through out the day until dark.
