There is so little settlement in this part of the Sandhills that the sky here is rated among the darkest in the country, and amateur astronomers have gathered at the reservoir every summer for the Nebraska Star Party since 1994. The Milky Way casts a faint shadow on a moonless night.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
