5b's Bakery
Concrete, WA
In case you missed it, there are many breathtaking photographs of the eclipse on the Internet this morning. I left early yesterday, instead of hanging around the house until the event was over. Going north, I had the road pretty much to myself and was already in the town of Concrete on the North Cascades Highway when the eclipse reached its peak. Even with 88% of the sun blocked, it was still light, albeit a rather strange light.
I pulled into the bakery parking lot, got out of the car, and a nice person immediately handed me some extra solar glasses. How lucky! They were impossible to get in Seattle. So I had a cup of coffee and sat for a while, watching from that peaceful spot.
And then onward to Twisp. I'm looking forward to spending a busy two days with the girls while Amanda and Tom are at work.
