点评:We stopped in for a summer evening program in this quiet Eastern Washington town. The setting is beautiful with vast, open expanse and views of Mt Hood in the distance. We probably picked a poor night to visit as it was summer and the moon was full. A full moon puts a lot of light in the sky and reduces your ability to see certain things. The summer is problematic because it gets dark quite late so that also limits what you can see. That being said, we still saw some neat stuff including some stars, the ISS, and the moon. They recommended visiting in September to see the best stuff, so I'll have to try them out later. The location does make this place a challenge since it is far off from any lodging or anyone in general. It's worth the trip but logistics are not ideal. If you have to travel extra far, it may not be worth the effort depending on the season. The head ranger reminded me of Farva from Super Troopers and was really knowledgeable. This is a great visit, but I'd take extra care if you have the luxury of picking when to visit.
翻译:我们在这个华盛顿州东部的宁静小镇参加了一个夏日晚间活动。这里景色优美,地势开阔,远处可以看到胡德山的景色。我们可能选了一个不太好的夜晚,因为当时正值夏天,月亮又圆了。满月会让天空变得很明亮,导致某些物体的可见度降低。夏天的情况更糟,因为天黑得比较晚,视野也会受到限制。即便如此,我们仍然看到了一些很棒的景象,包括一些星星、国际空间站和月亮。他们建议九月份去观赏最佳景色,所以我得晚点去看看。由于地理位置偏僻,这里远离任何住宿地或任何人,这确实给这里带来了挑战。虽然值得一游,但后勤保障不太理想。如果必须长途跋涉,根据季节的不同,可能不太值得。这里的护林员领队让我想起了《超级骑警》里的法瓦,他知识渊博。这次参观很棒,但如果你有时间自由选择,我会格外小心。
