Total Solar Eclipse 2017

Total Solar Eclipse of August 21, 2017, as seen from Green River Lake, Wyoming. I truly believe this was the most beautiful spot in the entire path across the United States - the first total eclipse here in the continental U.S. since 1979. I picked this spot out three years prior, and with an iffy cloud forecast, we almost left the area the day before. But the final update from the National Weather Service said the clouds - those you see in the distance above - would exit our area in time, so we stuck it out, camping overnight in 30 degree weather. The last cloud exited from in front of the sun at 10:16 a.m., with the eclipse beginning at 10:17 a.m. MDT (first contact).
