Just a few minutes before midnight I wake up and have to make a trip to the outhouse. As I'm returning to my tent, I look across the lake and see the moonlight illuminating the upper ridge and low lying clouds, creating an eerie scene. I grab my camera and small tripod for a long exposure. It is supposed to be a full moon the next night and I'd really like to do some star gazing but we go to bed so early (9pm on average) and it is rarely real dark by then so haven't had the opportunity yet.
