The eclipse brought far fewer tourists to San Juan County than expected

Bluff, Utah, was expecting huge crowds of tourists for the eclipse last weekend. The mayor even told the Salt Lake Tribune, about tourists, "Don't try to come here." But the hype was a little overblown, and the small town received the same amount of visitors as it would on a typical fall day, according to one business owner. How did restaurants and businesses fare in terms of supply and demand? Plus, we hear from KRCL's Lara Jones, who interviewed University of Utah professor Amos Guiora about the ongoing violence in Gaza. //Photo: The Ring of Fire eclipse passed through southeastern Utah on Saturday.
