We took a couple of days to drive there. We then thought we were being so sneaky, found McCain Cemetary right on the red line, out in the middle of no where, so we headed there early Monday morning. When we arrived, we were not alone! LOL We viewed it in totality with about 4 doz other very nice people in the quiet of the cemetery. Everyone applauded when it was over and we all headed home. <br /><br />Was a fabulous view! Cloudy all morning until right before totality, the clouds parted and we saw it in all its glory. Was totally worth the 20+ hours in the truck! Imagine, a 360° sunset! Toying with the idea of going to Chile or Buenos Aires in 2019!Rehj Hoeffnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12499370166433638842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9190979569332239219.post-78776081243848998842017-08-24T06:04:39.699-05:002017-08-24T06:04:39.699-05:00We had a similar experience to FinnBadger out on ...We had a similar experience to FinnBadger out on the beach with many friends and family. The clouds parted as if on demand, and we saw the entire show including the diamond ring as it started on the way out. We stuffed on Proseca and moon pies. Glad I saw it. Charleston was crazy. NASA gave us a talk with details of what we were watching. Very smart people learning about our environment from above the cloudsSmashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06738409599830280722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9190979569332239219.post-40541849885558231372017-08-23T08:01:06.997-05:002017-08-23T08:01:06.997-05:00Based on your informing me about the eclipse last ...Based on your informing me about the eclipse last year, and the fact that I've never seen one, I planned a trip to Nashville. A little cloudy, however got to see almost all of the first half, plus the totality. Well worth it, truly a special event. I'd even endure the drive back that took 14 hours instead of the usual 6 to 7 again for another one. Only 7 years to the next one, and this one passes just west of C'bus, so I'm in :)FinnBadgerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17623312291708136478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9190979569332239219.post-53869512543454557652017-08-21T09:02:28.355-05:002017-08-21T09:02:28.355-05:00We toyed with the idea of going, but nah...
