Where are you watching the eclipse.......................?
I experienced the 2017 Total Eclipse on a mountain in the Great Smoky Mountains NP. See below 4 pics.
Monday, I will be watching a 90% total eclipse on Old Rag Mountain in Shenandoah NP.

...planning to go out of my way to see it. Richmond isn't in the "path of totality", but I guess I'll walk outside and look around for a minute or two, and then I'll get back to work. I was underwhelmed by the 2017 eclipse as viewed here in Richmond. I didn't buy anything to allow me to look directly at the sun, so it just seemed like it suddenly became dusk for a few moments, and then it was quickly back to normal daylight levels.

Kid goes to college there and it's a good reason to visit. Rooting for clear skies.

added flights to Indy so people can take on busses downtown to view the eclipse. They're predicting 600K visitors for it.

This one probably stepping outside from the office. Which is fairly close to old-rag (20ish min) so now I'm thinking!

Hotels are booked. I can't imagine how packed Presque Isle will be. My son's GF lives in Girard and has a good bit of property for great viewing. Erie is bouncing back but still struggling economically. The investment Gannon University and Erie Insurance have put in the Bayside has been tremendous, but the East side needs a lot of help.
