The last week and a half I have been (I live very close to Houston) in Colorado. Yes, I took my lasers, and yes, I had a great opportunity to use them! My dad And I went mountain climbing, and we decided to climb one mountain during the night to see the sunrise. Unfortunately, and at the same time fortunately, the mountain was in a huge, dark cloud! As soon as we got above the tree line, I pulled out my lasers and they were BRIGHT! brighter than I've ever seen them! This was unbelievably bright.

I haven't ever used smoke or steam to enhance the beam at my house, so I don't know how this compared to those, but this had to be equal to or brighter than those. My house is in a very humid climate, and these beams dwarfed what I can normally see. The cloud was so dense, that with out headlamps on, we could only see about 10 or less feet in front of us. About 10 minutes after I put the lasers away, it poured on us and we hid behind a rock for about 30 minutes to get away from the wind and freezing rain.

who else has gotten to use their lasers in sweet ways like this during the summer?

That's awesome...
Next time I go on a plane during the night I have to shine my laser out the window while in a cloud.... (Seriously though, I would not do that)

whyyy whyyy do i ALWAYS have to ask for pics  :'( :'( :'(

Pictures take time and work. When I make a post, if I have pics I add them. Dunno if the OP feels similarly so this may just be me ranting, but I find it pretty rude when people just leave a one line post asking for pics and don't give a thought to the time and work the poster will have to go through to take pics... Pictures just to appease the guy who only took a few seconds to post. Maybe just me though - I don't have a cell phone camera and when I take pictures I try to put in the time/effort take half-decent ones. It ends up being a lot of time I don't often have though, so at least for me: if I didn't post a pic, its because I didn't have the time to take one.
