At my parents house near a popular tourist spot in the path of totality... about 3 miles from dead center of the totality Absolutely MOBBED. Every parking spot at the local boat launch is already taken, cars lining up and down the road. The dogs have been barking non-stop since 7am. Usually there's 5-10 cars PER DAY driving by this time of year.

Heading up I-91 now to Newport VT- traffic on highway is heavier than usual. First plans were to go to Burlington, VT, but forecast has clouds arriving there around 1 pm. Newport is supposed to be sunny until 5 pm. Temps expected to be 55 up there.
I’m in Glover vermont, just 10 min south of Newport. Bluebird day here, got the Adirondack chairs sitting In a foot of snow

heard the Walmart parking lot in Newport ( unobstructed view all the way to Jay peak) was completely full of campers bonfires and parties yesterday. Hope you got a destination scoped out cuz the area is filthy with visitors

I caught a good enough one last fall and I call tell you for real, don't look. It will burn your retinas.

Glover, VT. Hops for an avatar. Hill Farmstead country. It all checks out.

A few of my friends will be at Hill for the viewing.

Didn't use those glasses?
I figured I'd be fine with just a quick look to aim my phone. My eyes hurt for a couple of days, not my best call.

70% covered in Newport VT- starting to see light level diminish, and am I imagining or is it feeling a little cooler?
