Tennessee River Eclipse

2024 will be the one for us. We have a place in the Adirondacks and it's in the patch of totality. Not much of an event here in NJ. I remember seeing a total eclipse as a kid and it was impressive

Al Gore says you'll be able to take the boat up there by then and anchor out.

To describe it to some skywatchers on another forum I got all gushy:



A poster suggested that this was very cool. So I got out my super gushy keyboard:

That was some pretty good gushing. 😃

If anyone could watch a total eclipse like that without making a sound or being overcome by it, they have issues... or went blind because they didn't wear their special glasses. What surprised me was how little of the sun hadn't been totally blocked with virtually no difference in the amount of daylight.

When it reached totality, it was simply awesome. My son teased me about how many times I said, "this is wild", while shooting that video. Hey, what else can I say?... it was wild! May have to make a road/boat trip and catch the next one.
