Where our cabin is in North Carolina we are pretty far away from the town of Murphy (by 8 miles) so at night after we've watched a beautiful sunset over the foothills of the Smoky Mountains off our back porch, it becomes really dark because of lack of street lights, etc... the stars come out and it's almost like you can touch them. And there are a zillion of them. What is really great is straight off of our deck, just above the hill across the way is the Big Dipper and it stands out like you wouldn't believe. It looks huge and the stars in it are brighter than the others. I've tried taking pictures but they never show well.

Thinking about coming to the Smokys in a week or two....think I'll just come to your cabin :-DDD I've always wanted to see the sky totally full of stars!!!
