I used to rep for a company headquartered in Lexington SC and thought of crashing in their lot for a couple of hours that day, but will probably drive to elsewhere in that state.

I am camping south from New England to my sister's place in South Carolina, then south or west depending on the weather to view it in all its rare beauty. Maybe west before SC if weather decides for me. My Question is (1) who is in the path (or almost) of totality (2) are you willing to provide driveway (or other) space, and (3) how many busses will fit in your driveway? We could make this quite an event. I'm even building a sun funnel viewer (look it up under activities on the NASA site) out of an old long funnel and some other scraps to attach to my telescope to provide a 5" screen so more than one can view it safely. If you watch, eye safety is CRITICAL. Check that NASA site for more info. Even many types of welding glass are not enough. > > Dave B. |
