Yes, I was there in 1999. I was not observing the meteors, but I
remember seeing a few through my scope (probably my 10" f/5.6). The
meteors themselves weren't particularly interesting, but the Perseids
all left spectacular easily visible contrails which had billowing
puffs, and they would drift rapidly out of the field of view.
