so i would assume that most of the people who actually read this know that i'm in Limestone, Maine right now. and in case anyone didn't know that... i'm in Limestone, Maine right now.
yeah.
anywho.
when i say that there is no one up here, i want you to completely understand what i mean. the population of Limestone is around 2,000. to give that statement a little sense of perspective, the population of Lafayette is 190,000.
the closest largest city to Limestone is Caribou, which has a population around 8,000. and that's around 20 miles away.
k, so Limestone=2,000 peoples. i'm currently on an abandoned airforce base north of Limestone. key word being abandoned. i think like 50 people live within 5 miles of this place.
part of this place being abandoned is that there used to be appartment complexes just ouside of where im staying, but they got demolished when the base closed 10 years ago, so now it's just open fields with roads going through them. and nothing around (hopefully by now when i say nothing you have a good idea that i truly, honestly mean NOTHING)
i went out to look at the stars last night.
words cannot describe.
awe-inspiring, amazing, astounding, beautiful, these words are meaningless compared to what i saw.
i could see the Milky Way like it was a cloud stretching across the sky.
between the clean air, the fact that i couldn't even see the light haze of any cities, and the nearest source of light being about .5 miles away in the form of a street lamp, it was just *sigh*
and to make the picture complete, i was talking to Tara on the phone.
i don't think it could have been any better.
except that i was paranoid that someone would jump out from one of the fields and kill me.
but that's normal, right?
>.<
{when i look at the stars, i see Someone else}
yeah.
