I laugh at the people that actually traveled to view this event and I give kudos to the many people that actually made money off of them.  I saw reports of land owners charging $75 per person to view it on their land.  Get 100 or so stupid people on your property at $75 a head... that's a good little bit of beer money.

You have no clue. The difference between a TOTAL solar eclipse vs. a partial solar eclipse is like the difference between having sex vs. dancing. It was a long drive, but 100% worth it.


We went to Tellico Plains TN. I expected it to be an out of the way spot with maybe a few people, but there were about 10,000 people there. The weather was perfect, and the eclipse was amazing. I didn't waste time taking photographs of the eclipse, it's something you are best just watching.

Traffic was normal getting there, but heavy afterwards.
