Waiting for the Eclipse

IMG_6415

   Experiencing a total solar eclipse is a once a  lifetime thing so we didn’t want to miss it. With all of the news coverage of the expected crowds we decided to find a quiet spot on BLM land and hang out until Monday. This is a great spot! We’re just a few miles off of the interstate but we can’t hear or see it. The skies are clear blue, the temperature is about 80 degrees, a cool breeze blows through our camp, and the plains stretch in all directions.

  We’re sharing the spot with our friend Suanne. We are just west of Dubois, Idaho so if anyone else is in the area and wants to join us let me know.

  1. We will have either a great view of it, or no view, depending on the ocean fog. For the past six days here near Gold Beach, there has been NO FOG...who knows what Monday will bring. It will be around 95% eclipse down here in South Oregon.

    1. Hope it stays clear for you guys. I've been worried about smoke from all of the fires but we seem to be out of the smoke zone and it looks good for Monday.

    1. Did you get to see a partial eclipse or was it too cloudy or smokey?
