Default The Great Eclipse Trip Report

Well, the Great American Eclipse of 2017 has come and gone into the history books, leaving pleasant feelings and clogged interstates in its wake.

Marv and I got to see it happen here at Lake Hartwell State Park.

The heat and humidity were pretty fierce, with the campers a/c and trips into town bringing some relief. This morning the weather station reported 74 degrees and 98% humidity at 7:30 am.

We are staying put today, Tuesday, to avoid traffic and will get out of here early Wednesday morning before the temps get up too high. Monday night I wanted to venture out to a local Dollar General to restock on Gatorade. Got to the park entrance and saw the traffic on SC 11 and just turned around and went back into the park.

Have nothing much planned for today, which is like most of the trip. Planned nothing and executed it flawlessly. We'll pack up a few things this evening and escape early tomorrow in the cooler time of the morning.
