I saw it last night. I had to drive about a mile, to where there was an open field, and I had a view to the north. It took a while but I spotted it with binoculars, it was slightly below the big dipper, and to the left of it.
They call this area the "Smoky Mountains" and we usually have a haze even on a clear night like last night. The comet was not much to see, as y'all said like a flashlight pointed upward. A dim flashlight, the thing just looked like a smudge. I tried to get some photos with the Nikon but it didn't work.
Made me wish I was back in Steamboat Springs for an hour.
