We will have someone cooking hot dogs\, hamburger s etc- BYOB- for those of you in Atlanta\, you can come up Monday AM and be back before dark Monday PM. If you want to come from farther away\, we can help you find lodging\, stay the weekend. We will probably have a gu ide bring those who want to take the one hour hike to the top of Rabun Ba ld\, Georgia's 2nd highest peak (about 4800 feet)\, which is visible from our Sky Valley home. I have attached images showing the path of the ec lipse from a broader geographic perspective\, plus a closer look at the p ath through Sky Valley\, and a map from 1918 showing the path of the last total solar eclipse (it missed Georgia). We will order a quantity of the special sunglasses for safely viewing the eclipse\, so please respond if you think you will come. RSVP to jeb.howell@gmail.com by August 14\, 2017.
