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 :(
Looking back at the smoke plume from over Madras

Looking towards the Snake River Valley
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...
Partial eclipse has ended. Back to being a normal day.

Just north of Baker City on I-84
Huntington had a custom postmark (top) vs the special USPS one (bottom)
The stamp is thermally sensitive and changes when warm
