    Hey Jason, cool video mate, hope you made it out ok!! Looks like a nice location! I’ve got an idea for your next video! You and Isaac with flowers in your hair dancing around a campfire 🤣🤣 Awesome! Shame about Alpha Scorpii, good luck with your new location 👍 Clear skies mate!

    I love Arizona's landscapes. That place looks great, but wouldn't the light pollution dome from Yuma be visible to the south?

      me too! We saw no light dome from Yuma or YPG to the south. we did see the Phoenix Light Dome to the East a bit, but it should be okay hopefully.

    Definitely looks like another nice dark sky spot. Well you clearly made it back through the hippies as we are seeing this video..... but will we be seeing the Scorpion Brothers in tie dye shirts next time? (but please don't dance around the telescopes naked 😱). ☮&❤

    Nice landscape! How was the road? At one point you mentioned it was a bit washed out from the rain. Do you think my campervan could make it? I saw a larger RV and another campervan in your footage.

    • @AZ4RunnersRealm

      your campervan can absolutely make it. the road is like a 2 lane gravel road. there were a couple spots that were washed out a bit but not to bad. and it was dark.

    What's causing the light pollution at Alpha Scorpio?

    • @AZ4RunnersRealm
      @AZ4RunnersRealm  ปีที่แล้ว

      the light poultice is being caused by an agricultural plant about 3 or 4 miles to the north west. when the big flood lights are on at night, it kills the seeing and is so bright you can see your car and gear.

    I guess I should say ... "Groovy man".
    Looks like you are out in nowhere land. I would think it would be dark enough.

      yeah it is gonna be plenty dark and the campsites are pretty spread out. hopefully it will be a fun February. Peace and Love!✌💖
