You should stay out at least 30 minutes before you give up. Your eyes will adjust and they sometimes come in clusters with a lull in between.

Thermacell is a must around here.

I'm definitely looking in the right area, but haven't seen anything yet.

It'd be an awesome night to be flying.

Odds are the dickwad next to me would have some blazing reading lights on though

I actually just saw 2. Is intensity supposed to pick up after 11, or in the early morning hours?

Yep same here! It's partly cloudy here. Been watching for about an hour & 1/2 and only saw two so far.

Outside now trying to photo some. Seen 5 so far but none in the photo frame. Got about 80 photos so far. Hope the beer holds out.
