The Road to "Totality"

So let me get this straight, you got the tech to track yourself so well that you were able to find Jimmy Hoffa, D.B. Cooper and the Holy grail, but don't have a damn camera! Priorities my friend, get some!
Have the camera, just didn't have enough space on the bike. Roughly 120 cubic liters to put everything I need for 2 weeks

Well,....I was going to say it was what occurred to me on short notice as a surface that would show the image from the monocular better than my wood porch, but I like your description better. Super werewolves. Dang right!
BTW, for fun werewolf and other supernatural sci fi-esque critter stories, the Monster Hunter series books by Larry Corriea are good fun. Hes also a gun geek and gets the details correct in the nearly non-stop action in all the books.
Didn't get back on the bike for 2 weeks after.

But you can say you're in the 1K a day club now. It's just a very LONG day. Kudos for sticking with it!!
Here are a couple composite photos of the eclipse that I took. The totality image is seven images composited together. The images were taken by me and my brother-in-law in two separate locations on a mountainside. Despite a camera remote "failure," where some camera settings are overridden by the remote app, I still got some decent images.
For me, the trip to Idaho was nearly 4400 miles through 7 states. My brother-in-law was able to get us access behind a locked gate to an abandoned mine and tramway in the Idaho state park system. I wasn't mentally prepared to include the scene in my photos, so I stuck with the tight images you see here. It was a cool location to see the eclipse, with no one else but family around.

Believe it or not - I made a cooking video during the eclipse. Go figure. Kris and I flew to Seattle that week to stay at a good friend's newly purchased beach house on the Hood Canal which is on the West side of the Puget Sound. In this spot, the eclipse was at 92%. The day before, Kris met up with some old high school friends on Whidbey Island where they went out on a friend's boat and pulled crab pots that were loaded with dungeness crab. He brought back a whole bunch of crab and we decided to make cheese crisps on the beach during the eclipse.
