Our skies miraculously cleared off last night in time but we discovered that Jupiter and Saturn were below the horizon for us...the darned Bitterroot mountains were in the way. Tonight we are going to drive up to where we can get some elevation in hopes of seeing the show. What I did not expect last night was Mars and Uranus so bright and close together on the eastern aspect of moon. We enjoyed that instead. Mars was super bright and red.

Glad you enjoyed Mars and Uranus; didn't catch them.

Want to go out again tonight; will see, very windy here now.
