We went to the family property about 15 miles out. We saw about a dozen and called it a night about, 12:30am.

We only saw one, but better than none I suppose. We didn't stay out there that long though.

There should be. Last night was the peak. They don't just start one day and stop the next. But I didn't see any last night. I stared at the sky for 20 minutes and didn't see a thing. I'm going to try again tonight.
