Hi all-
I ended up spending the weekend in Long Creek, Oregon, a tiny town of 200
people 90 miles south of Pendleton. We camped out on the athletic fields of the
school with nice green grass. They kept the gym open so we had restrooms
including showers, also hot meals in the cafeteria, and some guest speakers
during the day. Met some really cool people and overall just had a great time.
Probably 200 plus people camping there so we basically doubled the town's
population! The eclipse was by [cid:818a6d50-3562-4f85-b4d8-0d60659e7bd7]
far the greatest spectacle I've ever seen in all my years of doing astronomy.
The drive back was not as fun as the traffic was horrible, nearly all the way
to the Tri-Cities. Image taken with a 400mm ED lens.
