Hi Aaron,
You've certainly got good enough conditions to find a lot of targets from home. I have Bortle 4 skies at home and its good enough to make all of the showpiece targets "pop". Like you I have Bortle 2 skies about a 40 minute drive South West.
I've sorted the list into 83 targets for you to start with. I sorted them by best month to observe using August, September and October and then choosing everything brighter than Mag 12. If you send me a PM with your email address I can email it to you. It wouldn't allow me to upload it. You will be able to get a lot of these targets from home and what you can't get from home you will certainly get from your dark site.
Start with these 83 targets and work through them. In a few months I can give you another list of 80 to 100 targets to work on as the sky changes. As time progresses the targets for each month will set earlier in the evening, so I suggest you start with August then move onto September and so on.
Cheers
John B
