Text by Ray Harwood. 

People came from all over the world. To view the 2017 eclipse. Here Leslie Lowe of KHQ news gave the "Lowe Down".

 Ray Harwood, flintknapper knapped a blue glass spear point. At the time of the eclipse yesterda, Ray Harwood went to lake Couer D' Alene, Idaho and watched the eclipse. Idaho being in the path of totality.

The NASA recomended safety glasses were worn. The glass was held up to the eclipsing sun. It is thought that ancient man may have used obsidian to view such things.

 The sun chips, blue moon beer, Sunny D drink, and moon pies were in the party kit. Seen also is the alien toy and Mini Me Emory Coons doll.

 Funny Idaho eclipse, path of totality t shirt.
