yesman Posted August 14, 2012 Posted August 14, 2012 Trip: Liberty Bell - Fire in the Sky - Date: 8/13/2012 Trip Report: The last few times we've been on top of Liberty Bell we couldn't help but notice that there were sandy benches at the true summit that would be a cool place to bivy and watch the sun go down. So it was that on the night the Perseid Meteor shower peaked Dave and I found ourselves heading up the approach trail with packs stuffed with overnight gear, food for several weeks and a fine selection of whisky. We arrived on top just after the sun went down, enjoyed a beautiful sunset and a great meal. With the lack of light pollution and the elevation the stars were intense. We began seeing the Perseids around 10p coming out of the northeast. Amazing variety of colors, with some leaving long tracer lines. Quote
BirdDog Posted August 14, 2012 Posted August 14, 2012 Nice, but why did you bring your own whisky? Last time I was there the cocktail waitress came 'round quite regularly. Quote
