Activities on the day of the great eclipse
Today, quite the eventful day. The day started out with a
relaxing viewing of the great American Eclipse of 2017 from the city of Bend
Oregon. We set up a small observation post at Karen and Mikes RV spot here at
the Scandia RV Park. We had purchased a 10 pack of glasses to look at eclipses
with from Amazon.com. We also set up a stand with Binoculars pointed to a piece
of paper to observe the eclipse without protective glasses just in case.
After the eclipse was over, we made a trip to the High
Desert Museum. This was an amazing experience. The museum has exhibits about
Indians, Ranching, Lumber milling, wild life such as porcupines, living on the plains back in the 1800's, how the plains were important to the world war II effort and birds of Prey. So far, this has been the
highlight of the trip. There was a possibility we would have missed this
experience, but we are so glad we didn’t pass on it.
After the Museum visit, we came back to the rig for a little
rest before we had Karen, Mike and Eliza over for a BBQ hamburger dinner.
Tomorrow, we head off early for a long pull to Coeur d'Alene, Idaho.
Safe travels all!
Eric and Carol Anderson
