Smoke and haze approaching Lake County Airport (Lakeview OR) 
             
            
                
                Bend Airport is down there somewhere 
             
            
                
                US 97 between Bend and Redmond wasn't very busy 
             
            
                
                The Milli Fire, just south of Sisters was throwing up a huge plume of smoke.

                I thought this was just a small fire just south of the airport, but I found out later a plane had crashed here :(

                The National Guard was out at some of the larger camps.

                Farewell Bend State Park and I-84 in the background 
             
            
                
                Civil Air Patrol flew by a couple times 
             
            
                
                Just before totality.  Shadow bands were visible on the road, but didn't photograph 
             
            
                
                7 minutes after totality, and everybody's leaving...
