After 3 day's attendance at the Hear the Watchmen conference featuring Scottie Clark, LA Marzulli, Zev Porot, Russ Dizdar, Carl Gallups, Paul Begley, Coach Dave, Josh Tolley, Derek Gilbert, Stewart Rhodes, founder of the Oath Keepers and visitors from as as far away as Norway and Australia, and as old as 92-year old WWII vet from Pennsylvania, we manned 3 buses at 5:30 AM from Boise, Idaho for the hour and a half journey north to Smith's Ferry. (It took us five hours to get back to the hotel in Boise after the eclipse). Pictures to come - they need to be processed the old fashioned way.
I took my 30-year old Nikon FG20 camera out of mothballs, purchased ASA 400 film, pushed it to 1600 - invested in eclipse filters for the camera & my binoculars, and shot the eclipse in the middle of a dry, sweet-smelling field. A family walked by me afterwards, who'd wandered beyond me for the event, "what a spiritual moment," the mother said. I responded, "did you know that on the Jewish calendar this is the first day of Elul? Which is also the same day the reluctant prophet Jonah preached to Nineveh (present day Mosul), which had experienced a total solar eclipse, civil war and pestilence. Its also 40 days to the Jewish Day of Atonement and 33 days to The Feast of Trumpets, the Revelation 12:1 & 2 sign...the only Hebrew feast day that ancient Jerusalem acknowledged as "no man knows the day or hour", because the rabbis wait for the moon." The teenage daughter responded, "fascinating!" I prayed that a seed was planted.
Rex Bear from the Leak Project was there - he'd been invited by the film crew, working on the documentary The Sign, who'd also recorded our conference. We've been told the documentary will be aired on Direct TV at 8PM Eastern on September 14th.
