Eclipse

This is one for the books - we crashed at 8pm last night. I don't remember the last time I've done that! A big part of the motivation for that was to catch the 'impossible' eclipse this morning.

So we were up early and heading out to Papago, specifically Hole In The Rock. As far as the eclipse went, it was a non event for us. Katie saw the moon briefly driving down Hardy, but that's the most that either of us saw, despite getting out to Papago before 7:20am, which was apparently when it was supposed to be in full swing. Maybe we should have gone earlier.

But alas, not all was lost, since sunrise over the valley is pretty fucking spectacular by itself. Definitely worth it, even though we didn't see any of the eclipse.

I think I'm going to have to do this again once I get my DSLR back.
