My trip to the islands near Vancouver is going to be based on moon charts this year. Damn full moon ruined the opportunity last year. I've seen the Milky way once in my life so far, I must see it again!

I had the pleasure to see it a couple years back when I did a cross country trip when I was still in college.

Would do it again in a heartbeat when I have time.
