Buffalo Field Campaign update for Feb. 21, 2008 Dear Buffalo Friends,
Last night, close to 8pm, after dinner and our general meeting, we walked out of the warmth of the cabin into the frigid, clear night air, down the snowy driveway to watch the total eclipse of the Moon. She was so beautiful in her fullness, lighting up the white snow with such brightness every move of your eye caused crystals to sparkle and glitter.
