I have heard that on the "perfect" night you can see the lights from the next town over, some 50 miles away. Haven't seen it yet, but I wasn't thinking to look that way for it often. I'll be keeping a lookout this year though!
I love the "nothingness." And I am always surprised at how much there actually is when you think there is nothing. We didn't come back due to the 'rona this year so I wonder if that will change once we do go back to greenery! One thing that will be weird is going from a 24 hour sun to having a night! 😄
