I hope we didn't dust you out when we left Thursday morning. The dust at Lakeside was the worst we had ever seen! The only reason I would hesitate to head further West, is that you get somewhat more light from the SL Valley. Staying on the east side of that little valley lets the hills to the east block some of the light dome. If you go one range over, you get the Energy Solutions light from their Clive facility....

I'm afraid we'll have some light impact from SLC anywhere within easy driving distance of the city. If you want to avoid it, you could go to the Wedge. But I don't think the light pollution at Lakeside is bad enough that I'd drive an extra two and a half hours each way, unless there was a special reason like wanting to see something low and to the east. The Lakeside light domes don't go up too high, but I can see them from SLC, Wendover and Ogden. A worse drawback at Lakeside just now is the dust, and if rain hasn't fallen before my next outing I'll head on beyond the usual site and up into the hills beyond, because they don't seem to be in such a dust bowl. -- Joe
