Perhaps i could ask an amateur question.. from the prevoius post, i thought most earthgrazer activity would be in NE/Canada... is it possible to see earthgrazers from first lenoid peak in South Carolina/North Carolina for example? I guess i should not ask.. possible... but is there a signficant activity likely?
I ask partially because in 1998 i saw so many great earthgrazers here in Charleston, SC,... and i just hope to see some more like that one day- (Ideally... i was hoping to go somewhere this year and to see earthgrazers from the first peak, and then, see the 2nd peak a few hours later... but perhaps that is not a realistic hope...)
thanks for any info-
Mark
