The Solar Eclipse occurred as scheduled in Idaho (8/21/2017 11:30 local time).  The eclipse from our viewing point was remarkable.

Our cabin in Stanley was almost dead-center : 100% eclipse and under the full shadow 99.83% (i.e., viewing time well over 2+ minutes).

More importantly, the Lubeck’s were able to host friends that live at distance but are close to our heart and soul.  In short; friends who you can share the best of what life has to offer. However, remain at your side even when the worst of life presents itself.  So to those (or who are associated) with the last name of Bescos, Brice, Connor and Wakeley thanks for coming and sharing in the view.

Also, a shout-out to the Pruder’s who were in contact from Michigan while the gig developed!

As luck would have it.  We got some shots!

Elk Creek, Valley Creek, Stanley Lake Creek and Stanley Creek just west of our cabin converge on Memorial Day Weekend. Original size: 30″ by 70.” Note: the fence line was built by a volunteer group led by my friend Ed Cannady.

Memorial Day 2017.  Is it simply an extended weekend or a day to recognize those who died while serving in our country’s armed forces?

I choose the later with the implication being I am afforded the former in great deal because of the sacrifice of others.

I have included some photos of the place I love because of their efforts.

Tomorrow, I honor a relative who died in service – Captain James Hammer.

I have written in detail about Memorial Day in the past.  This time I will ask the question.

Is it simply an extended weekend or a day to recognize those who died while serving in our country’s armed forces?
