Hi Greg,
You'll easily be able to see the SMC and LMC from where you are. Just look to the south and up a little.
On a clear night with no moon, they look like 2 cottony clouds just hanging there in the sky. In fact when I first "found" them, I thought that was what they were, clouds, I couldn't believe how large they were.
Over a couple of hours observing, you really notice how they rotate around the Pole.
