Best moon rise About 20 years ago, I was hiking in the Wind River range in Wyoming with a friend. We had been out about five or six days. This particular evening we were camped on the shore of a small lake and looking at the moon rise. It was a dull red color because of all the fires burning that summer. As we watched it rising over the lake and reflecting in the lake, we noticed that it looked weird. It took quite a while before we realized that it was an eclipse happening. Neither of us had been aware that an eclipse was going to happen so with the red color and the wind in the tree tops and the slow distortion of the shape, it was an exceptionally eerie occurance......
