Perseids Meteor Shower
This annual meteor shower is considered to be one of the best for viewing bright, fast "shooting stars" -- and 2010 promised to be a great year for them! The thin, waxing crescent moon will set early in the evening, leaving a dark sky for viewing. The shower starts in late July to early August and builds to a peak around Aug 12-13. Far from the light pollution of town, guests at Fern Glen Inn can stretch out on loungers, benches, decks and the ground to watch the show... then sleep in and have a late breakfast. Read more about the Perseids and meteor viewing tips.
