Six of us (Landon Curt Noll, Judith Shanks, Judi Liang, Claudio DeSanti, Mel Pleasant, James Pleasant) left the tour at Hami to visit friends near the eclipse site. We stuffed all of our eclipse gear (half of which was the Carter Roberts Vulcanoid Search Platform experiment) into a small van. There was barely enough room left over for us!
The road from Hami to Yiwu was still under construction in some places
