Caught it too. The difference between even a teensy tiny sliver of sun peeking out and actual totality is wild.

I traveled to a campground in South Carolina to watch the one in 2017, made it a 2 week+ long road trip including stopping and visiting family along the route. So worth it!

Shoutout to Devil's Fork State park, great place.

I didn't have the glasses for the last one, so I made myself a pinhole eclipse viewer the night before. Everyone I was with wanted to try it out even though they had the glasses.
