My daughter and I drove an 1.25 hours to the east. Found a gravel road out in a field to park - one other car from Seattle area had found the same one. He had been there for an hour with no meteors.

From about 11:45 to 12:30 we saw 6-8 “normal” ones. From 12:30 to 12:45 we saw perhaps 15 “normal” ones, with a few of those pretty good.

Then my daughter saw a huge one that left a trail. (I caught the trail).

Then we both saw one that was very bright (orange) and left a pulsating trail - perhaps bouncing along the atmosphere as it burned up?

The final one was a very bright orange, with a comet-like orange tail about 2 fists (20 degrees?) long. REALLY COOL!

So got to see the stars, some regular meteors, three REALLY great ones (my daughter anyway). Plus got to listen to the frogs, the smell of hay, and she was reminded again of what crickets sound like. A good evening well spent. In spite of the lack of meteors.
