As we previously reported, we travelled to near Grand Marais, Minnesota, on the North Shore of Lake Superior, to view the annular eclipse of June 10, 2021. You win some, and you lose some, and we lost this one, as the event was completely clouded out.

Local sunrise was at 5:05 AM, and we should have seen a view similar to the one above (but probably without the Statue of Liberty). Unfortunately, we awoke at about 3:00 to the sound of rain, and the weather within a hundred miles driving distance reported cloudy.

We set out in hopes of finding a hole in the clouds, but with no luck.
