What is the best location for the meteor shower on August 12, 2008?

Question

I live in California, so what's the best spot?

Answer 1

As far from anything else as you can get. Light pollution will be your biggest obstruction so get away from the cities and urban areas. Beyond that get as high as you can (altitude wise)...

Answer 2

Somewhere you can see the sky.

Answer 3

Earth.

Answer 4

i live in Illinois and i watched it last night, i went out onto the backroads wayyy out of my city and after the sun went down it was amazing! and exciting.  

Answer 5

Someplace outdoors is best for you, but the best place for a meteor shower to happen is in the atmosphere.

Answer 6

After 2 am, after the old moon sets. And do get out far away from city lights. If your city is 10 miles in diameter, then travel out over twice as far from the city -- at least 20 miles. You will be treated to quite the show out in the land of the rhubarb, but you will miss much if you are in light polluted skies.
