Sol and Solitude

Another backwoods astronomy adventure... Sun and Solitude
This time down to the McCarthy Hill State Forest land with the H-alpha Solar scope in tow. I was only able to observe the sun for about 10 minutes but the setting was quite nice. an approximately 2 1/2 hour hike ensued shortly after followed by a relaxing astronomy read around a small campfire. I could not muster up any "Huckleberry Friends" (www.facebook.com/pages/My-Huckleberry-Friends/383311171748559) to accompany me for the day and I did not encounter any other human throughout the day.
