As kids in the late 60s we would lie on our backs in the front yard and watch for satellites, there were not that many back then, but we might see 3 or 4 in an hour. It was a small town, and the sky was very dark, didn't have the light pollution like today, there was no cable TV, internet, or video games, so this was just one of the many things we did for entertainment.

Luckily, I live about 45 miles west of a Atlanta in a small town. My property is at a pretty high elevation relative to the surrounding area. Makes viewing much easier.
