Tomorrow morning, bright and early, the Craneflys head for Bear World. I think it's part of Yellowstone National Park. More importantly, it's in the sweet spot of the total solar eclipse.
Lady Cranefly's older brother lives in Pocatello, an hour and a half from Bear World. We'll be rendezvousing with him at his place, along with Lady Cranefly's younger brother and old sister from Washington State and a workmate. Sort of a reunion. We intend to get to Bear World maybe a day early, because the traffic could be insane. All we have there is a chunk of ground to camp on. Not certain what facilities will be available.
The bears in that area are reputed to be docile. But they have a tendency to loom. I'm hoping they don't loom over me during the eclipse.
