Solar Eclipse August 21, 2017

Total Sun Eclipse Passes thru Creekwood without checking in? 
As you can see on the map Creekwood Resort  will get a partial passing of the Eclipse, we would be a great base camp, or staging location.(to avoid the crowds).  I have attached further information and would suggest that what ever you plan on doing plan it now!
Here is a link for further information

Duration of Totality*: 1m 41s
Partial phase start: 1:06:23PM (EDT), at "1:30 o'clock" on the sun's disk
Totality Start*: 2:35:47PM (EDT)
*All times shown are calculated for the lat/long specified above, and are accurate to within a couple of seconds, due mainly to influences of the "edge effects" at the start and end of totality.
For a more detailed explanation of this, please see the "About Accuracy" section of this great 2017 eclipse page by Ernie Wright of NASA!
Please also note that these times have been converted from UTC; if you see times on other sites that say "UTC"/ "UT", or "GMT", those are NOT the local times for you in Helen!

We will be requiring a four night minimum during this time.
