Lucky you. I live in the city. Trying to decide where in the country I should drive to observe. I’m thinking about going around when the 12th turns to the 13th. Also, a gravel road on the edge of a farm sounds like a good strategy.
Yes, I live at 8,500 ft elevation near the top of the north ridge of a mountain. I have some obstructed view to the east, but to the west there is nothing for about 7 miles until the continental divide.
