We were there yesterday, directly in the path of totality for the Great American Solar Eclipse of 2017.
We were late making plans, but got a 12x20 hilltop spot for our tent on the grassy grounds of a local business. (Hotel reservations maxed out months ago by people who understood the significance of this eclipse early and who are not procrastinators.) Lawn chairs and coolers lined parking lots early in the day to stake out viewing positions.
The sky started out partly cloudy, then overcast, then it started to rain. We were washed out. The freeway was overwhelmed, a 7 or 8 hour drive home became almost 11 hours.
Not everything turns out great.
