2 had been in operation for sev-
eral hours, and the water poured
down the canyon, 1000 feet, from
the Summit. A rowboat, that had
been used by the laborers who
had finished the cement work
of the Falls Canyon dam, was
nearby. John launched the boat.
He rowed across the "lake."
There are persons in Avalon who
insist that "Yellowtail John" was
seen "fishing for trout in the
Falls Canyon reservoir." Perhaps
that is only a report! No one saw
him carry away any fish. He
admits that he rowed the boat
from "un side to un oder."
The announcement made in
this paper last week that Middle
Ranch water had reached Avalon
over the Summit was met with
many smiles, and joyous excla'
mations. So "tickled" was one of
our readers that she immediately
went to the faucet Wednesday
lasL drew a cup of water, and
took a "long drink." "Why!" she
says she said, "this water doesn't
taste a bit different than the old
water we have been using right
along. Where does the Islander
'get that noise' about the Middle
Ranch water being the best?"
Yes, WE saw the lady Thursday!
She started in to tell the writer of
last week's article all about water
- principally. Then we asked her
to read article again. Did we
write anything about water hav-
ing been turned into the "city
pipes?" We said it was in Falls
Canyon dam.
The water from Middle
Ranch is accumulating in the
Falls Canyon dam. "Yellowtail
John" can prove that. Wasn't
he accused of trying to catch
"Middle Ranch" trout? There is
a lot of work to be done on the
water system before the residents
of Avalon will be permitted t~
use the water.
So, don't get anxious, folks.
Try your faucet about the fif-
teenth day of June. Then, per-
haps, it will supply you with
good water, fresh water, sweet
water - but, not ICE WATER!
That everyone in Avalon may
know that the Middle Ranch
water is in the "city system," this
newspaper respectfully suggests
that " ellowtail John" be given
a public opportunity to tell of
his thrilling experience "When
I rowed un rowboat acrost un
lake." But, all joking aside, folks,
the Middle Ranch water will be
in the city mains about June 15th.
The installation of the new
system will have cost the Santa
Catalina Island Company almost
half a million dollars by the time
the mammoth reservoir has been
completed at the Summit. So that
the water from Middle Ranch
can be available for immediate
use, the pump at No. 2 dam was
tried last week and its operation
was successful. To fill the first
length of pipe from dam No. 2
to the Summit, it took more than
200,000 gallons of water. In the
photograph appearing on page
one, the water was emptying into
Falls Canyon at the rate of 480
gallons per minute.

~C~ In g .eneraL the weath~ for the Great American Eclipse of August 21 was very cooperative, nd most individuals who had traveled to view the event
saw 11. Guernsey State Paxk in SE Wyoming where friends and I were gathered had joyfuly, clear skies. Only two close colleagues were clouded
over by an afternoon thunderstorm that moved into Charleston, SC covering the sun just mimtes before totality. The planning of this event spanned
about 14 months and entailed traveling along the eclipses centerline from Nebraska to centra Idaho over a 5-day period in June 2016. Everyone that
we had spoken to knew about the evenL and all hotel spaces were virtually booked a year h advance. There seemed to be a sense of bewilderment
among many of the administrators that we met regarding how to accommodate safely all ti~ eclipse chasers who were expected to ardvel
State Park officials, on the other hand, were calm and collected, reaching out to us to be lart of the Guernsey eclipse experience. Superintendent
Todd Stevenson felt that this would be an excellent opporttmity for the public to get to knowthis region of southeastern Wyoming and the park itself.
Peter Detterline (Montgomery County Commtmity College) and I were also given use of two of the parks fourspacinus yurts for our group in exchange for public star
parties and presentations about the eclipse. According to Todd, our six presentations drew record audiences who gathered to he~ about the eclipse and participate in star
watch programs at night. It was a wonderful experience, but exhausting and intense, especially as E-day approached, and the weather became less and tess certain.
Climate is what you expect; weather is what you get! Two weeks ouL SE Wyoming was the sweetest spot aCTC~ the entire US. We figured that would not hold, and it
didnt; bat the forecast never deteriorated to the point where we thought we were going to have to make a run for it. According to meteorologist and good friend Adam
Jones, on E-day eve we were being squeezed between two frontal boundaries, a fast-moving clipps~ system approaching Wyoming from the northwest and a much
slower moving and weakening system to the south over Colorado. He predicted that we would be in a relatively clear zone on the morning of the eclipse as the two
systems literally pivoted mound us. On the evening of August 20, clouds from the system to the south moved in, but it was too late to chase. Opening nay eyes eve~
hour or so, I nested sleepless outside my yurt. By 1 a.m the sky was mostly clear, and condiliorm continued to improve as the hotws drifted by. By sunup, we realized
that Adams forecast was going to be spot on, and the eclipse would be ours to view. Conditions wea'e clear, but very breezy at first contact; but as the moon covered
more and more of the sun, even the wind succumbed to the coolin$ tempetmm'es, and coaditions durin~ totality became calm. Exhale www.astronorny.ot8
