Eclipse Excitement Building

Greetings from the Adironac Park in NY,

This morning we put together a lunch to take with us.  I heated up soup while Steve made sandwiches.  We were both able to work in the little kitchen.  Who says we can't dance well together!

The news has been that the restaurants would be crowded.  The traffic has not been bad yet.

We did a short hike down to Middle Saranac Lake to see if that would be a good place to view the eclipse tomorrow.  It was lovely.  We saw two loons diving in the distance.  One was a juvenile without the white plumage. 

We then drove to Tupper Lake where the town has many activities planned for the event.  

We got to look through telescopes at the sun and see sun spots.  We got to crawl through a tunnel into a blow up dome.  20 of us participants sat around the perimeter.  In the middle was a projector and an expert.   We learned some of the constellations that will appear when the sky gets dark during the day tomorrow.  

We learned that NASA will be live streaming the eclipse at this select site!

We we sitting in the sun on a bench eating our lunch, when we overheard that a professor was about to give a presentation in the cafeteria.  

We went inside the school and learned a lot.  We learned that a total eclipse is very different than an annular eclipse.

This kind of eclipse is rare and we are lucky to be witnesses with others all along the path of totality.

We had so much fun we agreed to flow with the crowd and go to Tupper Lake for the viewing tomorrow.  A plus is they have lots of portapoties and people to watch.

After leaving the school grounds we went and bought chairs for tomorrow, and then we went to The Blue Line Brewery in Saranac.

I highly recommend the pizza.  😋 yum!

We watched the women's basketball championship, SC vs Iowa.  I don't normally watch sports, but that was fun.  I was rooting for Iowa.  They didn't win, but it was a good game.  

Now we are back at our tiny micro house waiting for sunset.  We will go out again to look at the stars.  It is a clear night in dark place not polluted with city lights. 

Sending you some more pictures.  When you are in a Tiny house you need to be creative with storage.

I can't brush my teeth in the bathroom, there is no room for my head over the sink!

I hope you are enjoying your moments.
