  • Welcome to Wonderhussy Adventure #787
    Date of adventure: 4/7-4/9/24
    After skipping the total eclipse in 2017, I vowed never to miss another -- so I drove all the way to Arkansas to visit my friends Gina Nice and Gina Spice, and went camping on an island in beautiful Lake Ouchita to check out the 2024 eclipse...which almost turned out to be a BEEclipse!

    Cool video Sarah. I'm 83 and have been a follower of yours for 5-6 years now, I've never seen a complete solar eclipse. I have seen numerous partials. So yours was special. If you take a large piece of stiff paper and pole a little hole in the center of it, you can focus the spot of light onto another sheet of paper or onto the sidewalk, you create what's called a 'pin hole camera'. The image will show the suns profile perfectly... So no need to look at the sun directly.
    Those bees were weird!!!!............drive safe coming home.......

    I’ve seen 2 total eclipses and 1 annular in the past 7 years. Pictures and video don’t do them justice as to the actual experience! The animal’s reaction, temperature drop, the mystical twilight that one is enveloped in. Bucket list activity. Next ones in the U.S. are in 2044 and a coast to coast in 2045. Thanks for the documentation on this one…. 🌚 🌞

    We were in Mountain View, Arkansas--gorgeous area! We came in from California and joined up with folks from Kansas City. The eclipse was totally amazing, and I'm glad you got to experience it! I'm a former beekeeper, and having a swarm land on a boat in a lake is astonishing to me. Hope someone took them home and gave them a hive!

    On August 21, 2017, I was in beautiful central Oregon with a bunch of solar eclipse fanatics! There were several school teachers, many families, and even some astronomers from Hawaii! No insects, but that is normal here. Our biggest potential challenge was forest fire smoke, but it all blew away for the eclipse. The other challenge was that the media was warning of exceptionally heavy traffic (all presumably out of state tourists) crowding into the path of totality. That didn't happen most places except in Lincoln City, Oregon and at an official eclipse viewing and party in Madras, Oregon, where the traffic jams were legendary.
