 God damn, I love seeing the stars in Bumblefuck, Nowhere. 

Stars make you feel small and big all at once. https://i.nostr.build/ygo29U911p18tBhm.jpg  
 Haven’t smoked in a while but my favorite thing was getting stoned on a summer evening and looking at the stars for hours

 “There, peeping among the cloud-wrack above a dark tor high up in the mountains, Sam saw a white star twinkle for a while. The beauty of it smote his heart, as he looked up out of the forsaken land, and hope returned to him. For like a shaft, clear and cold, the thought pierced him that in the end the Shadow was only a small and passing thing:  there was light and high beauty for ever beyond its reach.“ 

— J.R.R. #Tolkien, The Return of the King 
 It’s the best. 
 Bumblefuck Nowhere is just a few miles up the coast from Mendocino. 
 Hold a small bottle of tabasco while you're at it.
