What a Weekend with a Lunar Eclipse of the Super Blood Wolf Moon

What a long name, but an amazing and rare lunar event combination that won happen again for many years. I hiked up wearing show shoes on Oregon’s Mount Hood and sat up near the Palmer Glacier and cooked a dinner on my backpack stove and enjoyed the amazing show as the clouds parted to show a clear sky and big bright moon. The super full moon was so bright I didn’t need any headlamp to hike in the snow and when it was in the red phase it appeared almost like Mars above me, and quite surreal.
