It was dark out, the kids were asleep (finally) in the tent. Balder and I were sitting at the site table and he whispered (quite sexily, I might add) "Donna, look up". I immediately thought "Do cougars climb trees?". This was the first time I saw stars unobstructed by city lights. It was breathtakingly awesome! The big skunk sauntering thru the site disrupted the moment, but still kind of fit in.
