Was in Oregon for the last one with family. John Day area. Was great. This
next one goes right over family in San Antonio, Dallas, SE Oklahoma. There
is a really remote Texas Wildlife Management Area, really dark skies, that
I think is on the track, & has campgrounds. SW of San Antone. Another
possibility is National Grasslands near Bonham, NE Texas. Texas has
precious little public land, no BLM, only NFS land is in E TX not on the
track. Oklahoma has more.
