Specifically located near the base of Lone Star, along what would be the NSV northern border.
It was late, and Edith couldn't sleep. The cold had gotten worse, it had become wetter, and by the time she had found herself climbing to level ground again, there was only rain to meet her. The trees thinned until there was only an open field and if the weather had been better, she would have been greeted by a star sprawl the likes of which she'd never seen before. Here, where there was no light pollution, no chemical smog, no satellites, and no humans.
Alas, the rain clouds were so fat and dark, they hung low and thick across the sky. Gobs fell from them and unceremoniously slapped Edith across the snout as she first emerged from cover, only for the rapidity to increase the further she tread through the meadow. Everything was dark, and wet, and soundless save for the thrumming of the rain.
