Took us 7 hours to get home to southern NH, but it was totality worth it!

Hahahaha! I assure you the kids were much more interested in my Saturday hiking outing, yesterday's eclipse and my sunburn (see pic) than anything I wanted to teach them...especially four days before vacation!!!

It was a SPECTACULAR weekend to be outside.

Colebrook, NH state liquor store parking lot which had 3X the number of cars it was designed for. It took about 1 hr 10 min for the shadow to go from a nibble to full coverage of the sun. Then about 3 min of totality. Once in a lifetime for us, totally worth the effort.

Thanks for all the feedback and pics of everyone’s experiences! found the following site that lets you simulate what the eclipse would have looked at based on your location. https://eclipse2024.org/eclipse_cities/statemap.php (Wish I had thought to google for a tool like this ahead of the eclipse!)

I put in “Meredith, NH” and the simulation shows both the sun and moon setting at the same time, offering a super accurate depiction of what I observed from my location.

Think, that sunburn looks like a facial eclipse!
