Re: (meteorobs) Good Viewing Locations Near Memphis, TN ?



Kevin
I just moved to Cleveland, MS about 1.5 hours south of
Memphis on highway 61.  Once you get pass the casinos
in Tunica,MS it really gets dark.  I really have yet
explored fully but there is a few state parks in the
area that should be good.  The area is all
agricultural fileds and catfish farms.  Besides
horrible mosquitos the sky is pretty dark.  LM of 6.5+
