Trip report, part I

I started to make it a whole travelogue of the trip, but then decided that I'd just post what I had and worry about Crater Lake (about which I have much to say) later. So this is just the eclipse part. Which is the coolest bit, of course. No pics of totality, I tried to get one but it turned out strange. I shouldn't have bothered, there wasn't enough time at totality as it was!

There have been lots of fires in the area, and the views around Crater Lake aren't what they normally would be. I hope that you had a good time, regardless.

Eclipse traffic

I haven't heard any problems with folks getting *to* the eclipse in OR, as most people listened to the "get there early" warnings.

I've heard *lots* of people stuck in traffic for hours leaving the eclipse area, though.

Both your comments will be addressed in my crater lake post, when I get out from under the work swamp and have time to compose it. Short bit: Smoky views, and took a long time to get there because of eclipse traffic so our visit was shorter than we wanted.
