This map reminds me of how neat it was to be outside city lights.  My wfie
and I love going to northern Minnesota.  It's part of the dark area on this
map.  Seeing the stars at night up there is unreal.  Especially since we
were coming from the comletely white blob known as Minneaplis.

We now live just to the left of the blob of light pollution that encompasses
the whole eastern half.  And can see stars again we hadn't seen since being
in northern Minnesota.

If we ever move again, we should use this map as a guide of where not to go.
