Eclipse Camping Day 1

This is site C1 at Energy Lake Campground in Land Between the Lakes. It's a pretty nice site, although the water is 100 feet or so away.

The parking space, which is long, was a few feet away from the tent pad, which is pretty nice except for having to lug your stuff.

This is a tombstone with a book (presumably the bible?) on a tombstone at Devil's Creek Cemetery in LBL.

Great Western Furnace. Partially ended by a slave revolt, which is pretty cool. Have to look that story up.

They have bison there.

There is another herd that is in a large drive-through area, but there weren't visible when we drove through. (They can turn invisible. Little known fact.)

So we were there for the big eclipse of 2017, and the only place where there were any crowds at all was the visitor center, seen in the next two pictures.

And even it wasn't as bad as it looked. The wait to buy things was about 20 minutes or so, so it could have been worse. The campsite was full, and you saw more than the usual almost no cars on the Trace.

That's the line.

Belew's Dairy Bar in Aurora, KY.

Belew's Dairy Bar menu. The prices are certainly right, and the service and atmosphere are fantastic.
