Well, take a look at this...US Satellite Map At Night.
If you will notice, in the Northwest US the lights tend to thin out to complete black. There is a reason for that. The black areas mean that there are no lights to be seen by the satellite. The area is secluded and sparsely populated.
To the east and on the west coast there are lights everywhere, i.e. lots and lots of people. We chose the mountains, the peace, the quiet, and the 80-mile drive to Wal Mart! And we are blessed:)
It is beautiful out here. Always wished we could have moved our house and land out this way. But night skies are so beautiful, aren't they? :)
