Geocache Description:

OK - we may be a little early in hiding this cache, but since a total solar eclipse is so rare, we just couldn't wait.


 

On August 21, 2017 there will be a solar eclipse across the United States.  The path of totality (total solar eclipse) will pass over Jackson Hole.  On that date, Jackson Hole will experience approximately 2 minutes and 20 seconds of totality. I hid two caches in GZ (same hiding spot...one as a back-up/spare).   Enjoy this cache as you prepare for the blackout.

EDIT: This is a photo I took from our own Idaho Falls backyard during the 2017 eclipse:
