Rumor has it that one million people trekked to Wyoming to view the
eclipse. It that's true, our population tripled over the weekend. Most
visitors drove in from Denver and Colorado's front range. The trip into
Wyoming wasn't so bad, but the trip back home was hell. It took some
unfortunate people eight hours to cover six miles.

Thank you,

Thanks for all the stories of your eclipse experiences.
It was just like being there.

The problem with eclipses is that most people never get to practice.
They never last long enough to "get really good at it."
While transits last so long you get bored and wonder what to do next. ;-)
