Its a ways off from now, but lots of us in the states are going to be thrilled with being able to witness a total solar eclipse later this summer, its coming up fast!
Im real close to the path of totality and will be travelling a little south to camp out and watch it. You dont want to miss this if at all able, i was lucky enough to witness one many years ago...and IT IS COOL! I remember most seeing all these little crescents on the ground getting slimmer and slimmer, as sunlight passes through holes in leaves, acting like a pinhole camera and projecting solar images all over the place, and then the light polarizing at totality, making it very eerie indeed. And the silence as all the birds and animals just go quiet.
Im just wondering what folks plans are and wanted to start a thread where folks could post info on gatherings, places to camp, eclipse related events, etc.
What are your plans?
