Skipping forward to night two...mostly because it was just another day of driving for hours. 

This was another time I was able to just put my camera out and go to bed while it fired all night. This is about 1400 photos stacked together. I am looking south. 

So my google maps has a few thousand starred places; this was one of them. I have absolutely no idea why this place was listed. It was a cool place, but hours out of the way. It did feel good to get a real night sleep.
