How to Get Here

By the time you get here, especially if you’re coming from a populated area, you will feel as if you’ve gone back in time to when life was simpler and when the night sky was more brilliant, but it doesn’t require time travel. There are a few paved roads that do lead here. And a small airport if you happen to have your own plane.
