Yeah, trust me when I tell you-you have not. The difference between the poconos and cherry springs is staggering. Big bend is the way the skies looked before and industrial civilization. It's somewhat disconcerting, actually. I've never been to the Catskills but the Adirondacks are class 2 skies like cherry springs. Don't think the Catskills have that rating.

Catskills are not far enough. Want to also throw my vote in for Cherry springs. Truly incredible. I saw a green meteor streak across the sky there, you could literally hear it burn up and the gasp from the field of people was audible. It was one of the coolest experiences of my life. If you can, go during a meteor shower.
