Total Solar Eclipse
Stayton, Oregon, United States
21 August, 2017
Seeing a total solar eclipse was a truly awesome experience – and still leaves me at a bit of loss for words for how to describe it. The moon's shadow began moving across the sun just after 9 AM PDT, reaching totality at 10:17 AM. The 2-plus minutes of totality were worth every minute of making the adventure up from Arizona, and is really something everyone should experience at least once in their lifetimes.
