It’s cool that you got to see the partial eclipse too. We saw the weird moon shape shadows on the ground and it was definitely funky! Sounds like if the lighting changed for you, it must have been pretty close to a full eclipse! If you get a chance (in 7 years), the full is definitely something worth planning around!

I love talking to those who saw the full eclipse! It’s fun listening to everyone’s experience on how amazing the entire experience was! It sounds like your campground did a fantastic job with events, plus watching by the pool with music seems pretty great!

We were crossing the border from VT to NY and pulled over at the Welcome Center in time to see the partial. Like you said it was a strange shade of blue outside. Almost smokey. It took me a while to realize it was the day of the eclipse and not a storm coming or smoke! We saw some neat crescent shapes on the ground and then it was over. I would’ve enjoyed the MLK memorial too.

We went to The Great Outdoor RV Resort in Franklin, NC, a wonderful campground in the NC mountains in the path of totality. Like you, we made reservations about 6 months in advance. The owners did several impromptu events that brought the campground community together; campfires, old fashioned weenie roast, etc. We had jokingly said we would watch the eclipse from the pool. The owners had a local musician, who was a very talented guitar player, set up at the pool before the eclipse. We brought our eclipse binoculars, eclipse glasses, and some snacks to the pool. Slowly, people started to congregate at the pool – we shared snacks, listened to relaxing music, and waited. When the eclipse was in totality everyone and everything was silent. As the sun started to show again I think we all felt that we had been able to share this almost sacred event in commune with others. One of the best experiences we’ve had.
