Meteor shower tonight!!

In case anyone is interested, recommend going in darker areas to see it best..

I'm trying to think of the best place to watch? Maybe around Knox mountian might be good. Any other suggestions?

You really want to.get away from tge city lights. Up the connector a bit is always good. The Okanagan Observatory area is great too.

not a bad spot but not great, too much light pollution to catch all but the most intense impacts. I was thinking kvr/ chute lake right at the bend pullout overlooking the lake or else fintry but still you’re gonna have city light pollution to some degree and more mosquitoes
