It was an awful drive home for sure. I-15 & highway 20 had many other roads feeding into it, as well. Just added to the mess. I thought for sure that you were taking a bus, for some reason. ;-) Sent from my Verizon, Samsung Galaxy smartphone -------- Original message --------From: Joe Bauman via Utah-Astronomy <utah-astronomy@mailman.xmission.com> Date: 8/22/17 6:20 PM (GMT-07:00) To: Utah Astronomy <utah-astronomy@mailman.xmission.com> Subject: Re: [Utah-astronomy] A few eclipse shots Very nice, Chuck! Thanks! On our way home, driving about 30 miles took nearly four hours. We were in narrow canyon country, one lane each way, with traffic stopped frequently or creeping along at a walk many other times. The problem was that many cars were backed up in another road that intersected ours (Idaho 55) and our route was closed so often to let them in that it was at a standstill much of the afternoon. I tried to switch off the engine when I could, but then everybody would creep forward five feet and I'd have to start up. Will post an eclipse picture soon.

Here's a link to a short Photobucket slideshow. What an experience, eh? I was awake for 36 hours, finally got to bed at midnight last night, and slept until noon! The only bad part was the drive home. Slow, bumper-to-bumper traffic from Thornton Idaho to Ogden Utah. We were only about 600 meters from the centerline. photobucket.com/user/JethroTull1958/slideshow/ATM/Solar%20Eclipse?sort=3 _______________________________________________ Utah-Astronomy mailing list http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/utah-astronomy Send messages to the list to Utah-Astronomy@mailman.xmission.com The Utah-Astronomy mailing list is not affiliated with any astronomy club.
