There the totality is projected to be 2 minutes and 38 seconds. I enjoyed reading about others’ plans for eclipse watching, and noted that with Sandy Shea watching in Carbondale IL and Elizabeth Lemerise in Bowling Green KY, this will result in three ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ ’74 and ’75 alums, all psychology majors, watching the total eclipse within a 200 mile stretch!

Great to read about ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ in the path of totality! My wife and I just moved to Fort Collins, CO, two hours south of the blackout band, so we are planning to arise in the wee hours Monday and head northeast to Nebraska, and Agate Fossil Beds National Monument. Will we make it? Who knows! Exciting to think of, though!

Congaree Swamp National Park is on our end of the county.
