Other folks who were with us in Casper for the Solar Eclipse

Such fun we had!


Lounge chairs provided a good way to view the sun, and the solar glasses hid whether you were viewing or napping!

The glasses were on and off a lot as you couldn't see anything with them on except the sun!

Erica and Al

The parking helpers, Darline and Tommy, for the west side (our side - Tommy helped us get parked) of the fairgrounds get to sit back and enjoy the eclipse!





Don Bradshaw had quite an array of camera equipment to record the event!

 Here is his video of the reactions at totality - really lets you see how dark it got! : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QzmeQplO0EU
Go to this post to see some of his pictures - Amazing Creator!

Ginger was ready with her Eclipse Casper shirt!






Rick had an aluminum foil headgear designed to prevent aliens from taking over his brain (it may have been too little, too late...)

Ann and Nancy


This was down at the end where we were watching - I'm in about the middle of the picture standing in the back. The snowcone, popcorn, and cotton candy vendors from the fairgrounds also came by!

Our nextdoor neighbors - that's their windsock hanging from their mirror (a way to keep folks from running into your mirror!).

Someone was up in a hot-air balloon - we were wondering whether they would even be able to see the sun with the large balloon canopy over them, but maybe they would be able to see the moon's shadow. The lady who spoke to us (from the planetarium) said that the moon's shadow would travel across the surface of the earth at 1500 MPH!
