Dark Skies

Silver Springs, Nevada is far enough east of Carson City to have excellent dark skies.  Even an hour or after sunset, the Milky Way was plainly visible.  Even if astronomy was not a passion, a dark sky is an esthetic treasure.  

My house in Horseshoe Bend had magnitude 6 skies.  This was not quite that dark but moving to Tennessee, I will put a premium on any property that has Milky Way.
