The sky is falling, the owls are calling

The trail is still being hiked but the blog is being neglected.  I've been to Goose Creek several times in the past two months (eight to be exact) and have taken to setting my scope up in an area of the park wide open to the stars.  When it's been cloudy I've hiked the 8-mile trail loop that winds along the creek with numerous board walks over swamps and under spanish moss-covered trees.  Lately the owls have been hooting all night long between campsites #3 and #5 and the deer have been brave enough to walk through my campsite.  The weather is getting nice and cool and the bugs are finally going away (almost).  This will start the new season of hiking, camping and stargazing.
