| Totality in Blairsville, GA - 8-21-2017 at 2:34PM |
Well, the eclipse was a bit of a bust for us in Blairsville, GA. August 21 began as a beautiful day - hot and sunny. At 1:05, the eclipse began and my family and I watched it with eager anticipation as the moon slowly nibbled away at the sun's surface. Unfortunately, a big black cloud continued to move ominously toward the overhead sun. Totality in our location was 2:34 PM; sadly, the black cloud beat it to the sun at about 2:15. Totality came and went with total cloud cover over the main event. Nonetheless, we did experience the eerie darkness of totality! Crickets began to chirp and it got unworldly dark! The picture above is a panorama that Carol took of our campground during totality.
As if to rub salt in the wound, the cloud moved on past by about 3:00.We were able to view a bit of the receding eclipse but all of us eclipse viewers in Blairsville were disappointed. Gonna have to wait till April 8, 2024 for another opportunity!
We stayed Saturday to Tuesday at Crossing Creek RV Resort. It's a winner! Without a doubt, Crossing Creek is the most beautiful RV resort we have ever experienced. Beautiful pool, club house, health club - all the amenities! We will definitely be returning.
