Eclipse brings visitors

Agate Fossil Beds National Park is 20 miles west of Wohlers Ranch along the Niobrara River.  It is a museum with many dinosaur fossils recovered from the hills near by and many native American Artifacts that were given to the original European owner of this land.  The park ordinarily has only 14,000 visitors per year because of it's remote location.  Being near the center of the path of the eclipse on 8/21/2017 the park had 11,000 visitors.  River Road had never accommodated that many cars before.
