MOONSTRUCK: Hiking By The Light Of The Silvery Moon
By
Beth Krodel
Tired of the same old Saturday night routine -  movies, dinner parties,
watching TV at home? Why not get out under the stars with some friends and a
thermos of hot chocolate and check out that celestial body that's been the topic
of numerous songs, quotations and myths.
The moon. La luna.
Full moons make for the perfect nighttime hiking. They offer enough
illumination for you to see the trail and the beauty that surrounds you at a
quiet time when few-if any--other hikers are out. And hiking at night gives
you the chance to get a new perspective on your environment; you're likely to
see animals that you don't during the day, and even some flora transforms at
night, with blooms closing or leaves curling up.
