Nothing like the wide-openess of the middle of a lake at night. A canoe or a rowboat would be first choice out on one of the lakes. I realize this is not allowed at some destinations, but thats not to say I havent done it. I have no special spots for taking the truck, but Ive pulled over in many clearings ang lounged out in the bed. Pickups are great for gazing because they protect you from the wind in open areas.

the pine plains-spring hill
Yikes, I responded......where did it go? Try in a kayak on the Wading River by Chips Folly OR in a comfy lawnchair in the middle of Bodine Field in August for the meteor show. Piney Mike, try buying one of those cheap rafts with the lounging backs and put that in the bed of your truck.....I've even slept overnight like that........zzzzzzz
Anywhere with no overhead wires or telephone poles.

The airstrip in Whitesbog.
the train trussels usually provide a decent view of the stars
Apple Pie Hill is a nice star gazing location. I like to go up there and spot falling stars.

In the late 70's and early 80's i used to set up my 8' Schmidt Cassegrain at the above location, my Astronomy Club called the site the Bat Pit. Nobody ever hassled us there.

It's true, hard work never killed anybody, but i figure, why take the chance.

Oh Jim,
There's some around here that refer to that place as "Scott's Pit". Mrs. Ellen Scott (first introduced in Beck's Jersey Genesis-pg. 91) was murdered in the late 40s/early 50s by her nephew. He dumped her body there and the only reason that she was found was that persons searching for her could smell the body. I remember a local on the ambulance squad at the time recounting the story. There are still a few other folks around who remember the incident too. oooohhhhooooohhhoooooo..........

Looks like a great star spot.
Too bad it's a very remote party spot too.
Pretty trashed up on top.

Among other things... as Chuck, Grendel, etc and I found out. We didn't too many signs of it being a major party spot, but did find some weird stuff farther up the hill. It's an odd place, though great for stargazing, and sledding (when I was little).
For me, my field is a pretty good spot, along with Spring Hill, Manheim, and Batsto mentioned above. The only one I'd add would probably be the clearing at the end of Bremen Ave, at least from the road.
lol yea Chuck, good thing I showed you Spring Hill
