FULL HARVEST MOON
This is the first Full Moon closest to Fall Equinox. It rises just after sunset and sets around sunrise, so this is the only night in the month when the Moon is in the sky all night long.
Some Native American tribes referred to October’s Moon as the Full Hunter’s Moon as it was the time to go hunting in preparation for winter. This full Moon is also called the “Travel Moon” and the “Dying Grass Moon.”
State law requires lights, and helmets are recommended.
An extra set of batteries for your lights is recommended.
