The skies were crystal clear at 6700 feet. After returning to the lodge, I used my 16 x 60 Pentax binoculars to look at and log several objects. Included were M101, M51 and M63 which are not visible in binoculars from my backyard north of Dallas. As clear as it was I was not able to see M108 or M109.

It was a great trip and I'll now have to find dark skies closer to home.
