There were four pools that were cascading down the mountainside that overlooked a beautiful cliff band on the opposite canyon wall. It was silent, remote, and the ambience was complete with a constant sprinkling of frost that came off of the surrounding ice-covered trees, and one solo old naked guy also enjoying the springs (the complete hot spring experience.)
Two locals approached me while I was laying on the beach, taking a break from surfing the famous break in Sayulita, Mexico. Each of them were holding tablets.
"Do you mind of we ask you a question for our research? What brings you to Mexico?" "The dentist." "Really?? We haven't heard that one before..." If you saw the 2017 eclipse in totality, then you're probably still reeling on the experience. If you didn't see the eclipse in totality, you're probably sick of hearing about it. But I don't care. Wyoming was already crowded enough with people that were stoked on it. ;)
But where my friends and I were was completely secluded. The world could have ended while we were in that canyon and we wouldn't have known. And that's the beauty of river trips. Here are the deets to how we pulled off a SUP-supported trip in Wendover Canyon, and saw the #2017solareclipse in totality while we were at it. |
