What's the closest place to Toledo to see the wonders of our night sky without light pollution?
Here's a map.
Some suggestions:
- Maybe out near Swanton or Whitehouse
- Maumee Bay to the east and straight out Rt 20 to the west
- Central Ave West through Sylvania, about 15 miles and take a right or left on any numbered road in Fulton county
