We were on board the Celebrity Solstice in the Tracy Arm Fjord near Juneau, Alaska the morning of the 21st. We transferred to a smaller tour boat to go deeper into the Fjord. We did not even see the sun as it is the rainy season and we were in rain forest territory. It was overcast and rainy most of that cruise except for the very end at Victoria, BC and back at Seattle. I could not even tell when it began or ended since it was so overcast. Juneau was only supposed to have 51% coverage. I had brought eclipse glasses in sufficient quantity for my brother and his wife and my sisters and their husbands as well as for us. I should not have spent the money. I'm set for the next one though.

We were paddling our camoe on a lake that was at the base of Mt. Ranier in Washington state. We were camped with our pod at Lake Alder for several days.

We spent that weekend at an RV park on Lake Murray just west of Columbia, SC.  We ended up with perfect weather and it is on my top-10 list of most emotional experiences of my life (I read many similar experiences before and after the event).  Definitely will be heading to see the 2024 event and hopefully 4-5 more that will be over North America while I'm still here.

Then we headed to Myrtle Beach for a few days to round out the week.

     Witnessed the eclipse from Sweet Home Oregon with family.  Took the R-Pod 182G up the coast from Ventura  in Southern California, to the city of Newport on the Oregon coast, then I-20  inland to Sweet Home. Spent the first night a Big Sur and then onto Bodega Bay above San Fransisco, then the Redwoods and finally Oregon.  It's hard to believe there are so many beautiful places along the west coast.  

Made one stop on the way back at Lassen Volcanic Park in Northern California, spent two days there hiking the trails. Allot of the trails had patches of snow still on the ground. 

This was our first trip with the R-Pod and it performed admirably. A few people asked how I liked the trailer and I told them that it is not something I would live in full time, but it is a great travel trailer, which is why I bought it. 

One RV park we stopped at the showers were not working.  Up until then I had resisted using the small shower in the wet bath, thinking that it would quickly run out of hot water. I  realized I had underestimated the performance and had plenty of hot water. I decided that all my showers would be in the trailer from that day forward.

We are in Goodlettsville, TN, just north of Nashville.  Came in on Saturday and did the Nashville tourist thing and now we're all set up in full sun for a beautiful day at the Grand Ole RV Resort.  The place is packed with the overflow lot almost full as well.  This is a wonderful campground with live music at night and the owners are really nice people.  We have the solar telescope set up to take pictures of each stage of the eclipse.  Y'all be safe and have fun!]]> Mon, 21 Aug 2017 07:58:19 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=10537&PID=98270#98270 Great American Eclipse : Northern Michigan, cloudy and... https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=10537&PID=98258#98258 Author: jato

Northern Michigan, cloudy and rainy most of the day, will miss it regardless.  As a kid growing up in Detroit I remember seeing one that was really impressive, mid-day, it got real dark, temps plummeted and here I was with my brothers looking at a large pail of water filled with water as the eclipse commenced, pretty exciting for a young kid to view.

Let's start a new thread.  Where are you camping to view the Great American Eclipse?  I am behind a warehouse in Idaho Falls, ID.  I work for a company in Salt Lake City that has a satellite office here.  Free, so the price was right.  Getting excited for tomorrow's big event.]]> Sun, 20 Aug 2017 18:32:56 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=10537&PID=98249#98249
