2017ko abuztuak 21,
arratsaldeko 16:00ak, autoa gidatzen noa amaigabeko autopilaketa batean,
bitartean eklipseak emandako segundu guztiak gogoratzen gabiltz lagun
Julen, Freddy eta hirurok. Niretzat bigarren eklipse osoa, aurrekoa
1999an Errumanian ikusi baitnuen, saros berdineko eklipsea. Saros
145ko hurrengo eklipsea 2035ko irailan izango da Japonian. Nork jakin...
Zoragarria izan da egun hauek Cheyennen
igarotzea bertako biztanle lagunkoiekin, Hampton Inn Cheyenneko
langileriarekin (hatseden gune paregabea), Outback steakhouse (a zer
nolako txuletak!!!), Sanford's Grub & Pub (hanburgesa bikainak,
garagardo hobea eta zuzeneko musikarekin ostiralero), gugandik galdezka
etorritako persona guztiekin eta lagundu gaituzuenekin... Glendon
Lakeside RV Park behatokiko lagun guztiekin .... zoragarria izan da
zuekin eklipsea elkarbanatzea.
Eklipsearen eguna bizperan hasi zitzaigun.
Rawlinsera gidatu genuen bertan kokatu baitgenuen atzera itzuli ezinezko
puntua. Idahora edo Wyominen. Eguardian eguneratutako eguraldi
iragarpena gainbegiratu eta Glendorantz joatea erabaki genuen.
Arratsaldean hodei batzuk baina gaueko 3:00tan oskarbitu zuen eklipse
eguneko 15:00ak arte. Egun bikaina. Hitzen bidez deskribatu ezin den
gertaerarako. Eguzki eklipse osoa.
Urte beteko prestakuntzen ondoren, eklipsea
iragan da. Mila esker Hondarribiko Eroski Bidaiakeko lagunei, zuen lan
saiatuaren ondorioz bidaia benetan erreza izan baita.
Atzera kontua hasia da hurrengo eklipse osoa
ikusteko familia bidaia saiakerako, 2024 Texas. Bien bitartean emazte
zoragarria eta alaba txiki politarengana itzuli eta bizitako gertaerak
kontatzeko unea da.
August 21 2017, 4:00PM
driving to hotel through an endless jam, I am remembering with my
friends Julen and Freddy all the seconds of the solar total eclipse. My
second total eclipse with Romania 1999 and both from same Saros, a
coincidence. Next eclipse from Saros 145 will be in Japan in sep 2035.
Who knows...
It was great pleasure stay
few days in Cheyenne with all friendly people there, all staff in
Hampton Inn Cheyenne (perfect rest place), Outback steakhouse (what
steaks !!!), Sanford's Grub & Pub (great burgers and better beers with
live music every fridays), for everyone who came to talk with us and
everyone to helped us... all people in Glendo at Lakeside RV Park -our
observation site- ... was a pleasure to spent time with all you.
Eclipse day begun Sunday
morning. We went to Rawlins which was our non returning point (to Idaho
or Wyoming). Checked for the last time updated weather forecast and we
went to Glendo. Some afternoon clouds and completely cloudless from 3:00
to 15:00 on eclipse day. Perfect day. No words can describe the event. A
total solar eclipse.
After a year preparing it,
the eclipse has gone. Big thanks to Hondarribiko Eroski Bidaiak, thanks
for such professional dedication cause everything went smooth during the
trip.
The countdown begins for
trying a family trip to the next solar total eclipse, 2024 Texas.
Meanwhile time to return to my darling wife and beautiful daughter to
tell them the great experience lived.
