The moon and the sun appear closest together
on the day of the full moon, so as the day
approaches the sliver becomes harder to find.
This was taken on 08.18.17, three days before the eclipse.
Still looking for the best place to view the eclipse
we checked out Greenhorn, OR, the highest (no, not weed high)
incorporated city in Oregon; official population: zero.
Olive lake
This is a truck that firefighters use
to fight forest fires, rampant this year.
Sumpter, OR is home to this gold dredge.
Floating in a pond of its own making that moved
along with the dredge as it gobbled up
dirt and rocks and extracted gold and left
mountains poisonous tailings in its wake.
