Da Clips Hike
Aug. 28th, 2017 01:22 amWhen you've got a big van, it's easy to overpack. In fact it's a good idea to overpack. You got the space so why not?

We took off from Sacramento early Saturday and headed up into Oregon. The sky was hazy all the way out of California due to several large forest fires. We realized that no one in the entire state was going to get a decent view of this thing. We stopped at the worst taco stand ever and ate a hilariously bad lunch. We also got ice cream because why not; it's vacation!

( Here's how the hiking adventure turned out... )
Anyway yeah, that's the adventure behind the eclipse. It was an absolutely grueling hike. I apologized a few times for roping Andy and Zoe into such a misadventure, but they both said it was worth it. I'm fortunate to have such adventurous and flexible friends.
