Location: Devil’s Tower, WY
The eclipse began around 2:45 a.m. and lasted until well after 6 a.m. Julia went to bed while I made my post last night, but I made sure to wake her for the pinnacle of the event. I went to bed around 5 a.m. The eclipse was brilliant until about 4:30 a.m., at which point heavy cloud cover began to move in, obstructing the view and making me angry. I took a 45-minute exposure of Devil’s Tower and then went to sleep. Due to the clouds, I decided to put the rain fly on the tent, which was good considering we woke up to a fairly heavy rain this morning. Now, Julia and I are sitting in the restaurant at the campground before heading west towards Yellowstone. Here are some photos from last night.
The total lunar eclipse.
45-minute exposure of Devil’s Tower during the eclipse. Notice that, for much of the time, clouds and fog had obscured the view of the tower itself.

Hey, how’s everything so far? Devil’s tower is sweet. Looks like you’re having a good time thus far…
I was also wondering if I could get a copy of that eclipse picture, it’d make a kick ass background.
Yeah, you can get one…what resolution is your monitor?
Well, my new comp has a 22″ widescreen. I’d guss like 1600X1200 or something huge-mongous!
Great shot of the eclipse
I was told that we were going to be able to see it here in the east, but I guess it started to late and it was too light by the time it was full (I was at work at the time with my camera handy)
Oh well
Bryan – Let me know when the computer comes in and tell me specifically and I’ll send it to you.
Pete – Yeah, the sun had started to rise before it had fully finished even here, so I’d imagine the east coast would only be able to see the first phase and not even see full umbrage. Oh well.
NEW COMP IN!!! Good thing, too. My bro’s comp just shit all over.
Res is 1152 X 864
Sorry to read about the car troubles, but it’s to be expected driving across the country. Shit happens, I guess.
Remember: Don’t sweat the petty things, pet the sweaty things.
