Solar Eclipse in Mokelumne Hill

A local gathering of Mokelumne Hill residents and friends celebrated the August 21, 2017 solar eclipse at Shutter Tree Park. Rod Hanchett and Will Mosgrove organized the event and supplied a modified telescope, view boxes and glasses to safely view the eclipse. In typical Moke Hill style, local eclipsers brought snacks, beverages and dogs to enjoy this unique slice of nature. Will gave us a unique perspective on the evolution of the eclipse using Oreo Cookies. This display did its own disappearing act after the event. Enjoy the photos.
