Observer
Name carol w
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks I was driving home after selling tickets at a football game and as I came around a dark tree covered series of curves there it was just over the mountains. I was talking to a friend on my cell phone and said something that made her know I was seeing something special. It must have just hit the atmosphere as I rounded the curve.
