This last weekend, I found myself in the mountains, walking by the light of the pre-dawn sky. Jupiter was bright overhead, and Venus had just risen. The new moon was with the sun, still far below the East horizon.
If you've ever done a night hike, then you understand I was a little worried about what I might walk into. The area has deer, elk, coyotes, a few bear, and a few moose. While I heard some critters shuffling in the woods, and had an owl pass close over my head, none of those were my worry.
