August 21 2017 Douglas WY


Nice glasses 
 Experiencing the total eclipse was something on our family's to do list for the better part of three years. I didn't realize it would be on other peoples to do list much earlier and with a better plan.
seconds before total eclipse 
  I thought four moths would plenty of lead time to find and or reserve something in the middle of  Wyoming..... I was wrong.   I all worked out anyway, after a few calls and referrals I found a piece of grass to park our van and camper.
my pic....doesn't come close to the ones floating around the web...but I was there and i have proof
 Our hosts were the parents of the owners of  local campground, and were taking their overflow on a vacant lot. We had perfect weather, no clouds and enjoyed 2 plus minutes of 100% coverage.
Our host's camper...for 25 bucks they fed us dinner and lunch....it was awesome

The main event and the real reason for our eclipse vacation was to go backpacking in the Wind River Range
