I live in LA, not a great place for star gazing!
So I drove north about 1-1/2 hours to Mt Pinos, a XC ski area at 8300 feet.
quite dark, and clear sky.
Once it got dark, the show began. The large parking lot gradually filled up with several hundred people.
But it got VERY cold. I finally got into my car around 10pm, and left about midnight.
I saw a lot of meteors, including a couple of fireballs. A number were among the brightest/biggest I've seen in my life.
I'd certainly recommend it to anyone who has an interest.
BTW, about 10 years ago, I climbed Mt. Baldy, and sat up there for the night watching, and it was quite spectacular, but I was higher.
