site description, Pt 7 [ '17 Solar Eclipse, Oregon ]

I got to Mina/NV, pulled into dirt road. Camped out (slept in car), got morning pics of sunrise. Left, got to Bishop/CA. As I left Carl's Jr (fast food), my voltmeter indicated my charging system FAILED! (didn't read 14v). OMG WTF? I used voltmeter to check the Alternator AC windings -- ZILCH! ALternator FAILED.

Luckily, there was NAPA auto-parts 2 blocks away. Bought new alternator, did the install

I figured out the front-suspension vibration was due to "road surface roughness" on hwys in N. California & Nevada & Oregon. The highways near LA -- NO vibration. The damn Jeep DW (Death Wobble) is a harmonic vibration condition, due to THIN track-bar tab (passenger side). The circular hole gets "ovalized", leading to "play". Lesson in Physics -- oscillation.

The long drive in hot conditions, apparently caused the Alternator failure. Another lesson in Physics -- Heat.

^^^ eclipse-trip was an ass-kicker!! Ambitious eclipse-program, exacerbated by some issues with car.

¡Qué minucioso y excelente registro de campo sobre la preparación del eclipse solar del 2017 en Oregón! Describir detalladamente el terreno, la visibilidad del horizonte y la logística geográfica demuestra cómo una planeación rigurosa es fundamental para disfrutar de un fenómeno astronómico tan extraordinario. Esa misma cultura de previsión y orden resulta sumamente útil en la vida cotidiana para evitar carreras de último momento, especialmente al mantener vigente la constancia de situacion fiscal sat mexico para tener todos los papeles oficiales listos cuando se requieran. ¡Gran bitácora de expedición!

What an incredible memory to revisit! The Great American Eclipse was such a monumental event, and Oregon was arguably one of the absolute best places in the country to experience the path of totality. Reading your site description, Pt 7 [ '17 Solar Eclipse, Oregon ] really brings back the excitement and anticipation of scouting out that perfect viewing spot. It is always fascinating to hear the behind-the-scenes details of how people planned their setups to witness such a breathtaking astronomical phenomenon. Thanks for sharing this fantastic piece of your eclipse journey!
