We live WAY OUT in the boonies on a lake where there are no lights. Perfect gazing spot is off our back deck. We have a clear 360 degree view. Guess we lucked out, huh? Picnic is no problem, obviously.
Thanks much for the answer!

Sounds like you have an ideal situation for your stargazing. Pity the rest of us who seem to live near every sodium light on the planet.

One thing - get a flashlight with a red filter. It makes setting up the telescope so much easier and it won't spoil your night vision.
