Anybody else near the eclipse path?

Got any plans?

We're half an hour south of the edge of the path, so I'm not going to make it a day care event--instead, I'm closing and driving up to the center of the path. Sweetwater, TN has a little festival going on, so we'll tour the Lost Sea and then eat at the festival before the eclipse.

Here's hoping no clouds.

Maybe I'll see you lol. I'm stopping there for a few hrs on my way to Florida (I live about 45 min away and I'm in the path so I would see it anyway if stayed home). It's been a few years since I went to the Lost Sea

I don't know what any of this means but it sounds fun!

There's a total solar eclipse this year. Here's the path it'll take through the US:

I literally live on the north edge of where it will be eclipse here in Blount County (Near McGee Tyson Airport). I already have my Certified glasses for watching cuz ya know you don't want to burn the eyes out. The Smokey Mts are in the path & they are doing a River tour thru some company there (forget the name), plus of course there is Sweetwater lol.

I heard some small towns in the path are telling residents to shop/get gas a few days before because they expect a huge influx of people wanting to see the Eclipse. I can just imagine the traffic jams that will happen in some places

I so wish we could see it! We're in the path for a partial but my family is having a reunion in Oregon right on the path for a total eclipse. Unfortunately, we have our daughter's first IEP meeting during the eclipse , so we won't even be able to see the partial.
