The best place to see the stars, at least close to where I am now is just outside of Cadillac Michigan. There is a little lake called Olga Lake, just inside the Manistee National Forest. This place is far enough away from cities and their light pollution to really get a great view of the night sky. I haven’t been to that place in years and considering the cost of fuel and general occupation with tasks at home, I doubt I’ll ever get to set foot there again.
