I know it is not Sasquatch related but I live in the direct path of the solar eclipse so I get to see it in person.
I wonder how many members are waiting for the eclipse to happen. For those of you not in a position to see the solar eclipse check out the link below.
“Experience the solar eclipse with coast-to-coast coverage in five states and views from planes, high-altitude balloons, modified telescopes and satellites.”

I’m lined up for 2 minutes + in Tennessee. I think I’m really close to our friend Mr. Carpenter whom I would love to get in touch with!

just tried to film it here in OR, but smoke from fire nearby made it fuzzy! I did see it thru eclipse glasses, even filmed it thru them. We’ll see.

Well, the eclipse is mostly over here in Eastern WA and although interesting with family and friends messaging each other about every couple of minutes with lots of entertaining comments, it was rather a dud. I have seen way more exciting lightening storms than this.

Hey Wes, I’m here on the front porch in so ohio. We’ll probably get about 85% coverage here. I’m mostly watching for how the animals act…. 🙂

2:46 pm here, starting to cool down. Barn swallows are in their evening position, lining the telephone wires….

Helena, MT. Leah & I sat during the time & just noticed a slight darkening. Nothing big. But kinda eerie & cool anyway. :):)

100 percent outside of St. Louis. Very cool…..

Also outside St. Louis. Way cooler than I expected. Didn’t get so dark, but the sun’s corona was amazing and much larger than I was expecting.

Cloudy in Charleston, SC at most locations, on the beach was clear enough to get a good view

I am visiting my parents in Seattle. 92 percent coverage this morning. Aside from the drama of getting 2 elderly people to wear the eclipse glasses it was awesome.

I live in N.E. Arkansas and I drove to Paducah, Ky. to see totality. It was my first time to ever see one and it was amazing. The eclipse in 2024 is going to pass through where I live. I hope I’m around to experience that one too.

I saw my first solar eclipse when I in elementary school.
I “experienced” my 2nd total eclipse when I was attending community college when Vancouver, Washington was right in the shadow’s path. And an experience it was.
I lived out of the city in a subdivision near rural farmland, and recall it being around 8:30 am or about then…
I remember seeing the moon’s shadow fast approaching, and when it went dark, the local animals and flocks of wild birds went crazy.
Dogs and cats were going absolutely bonkers, running in circles, climbing trees (and that was the dogs… just kidding), and the birds?!
The flocks of wild birds were totally freaking out, with crows cawing, and birds flying around in huge circles, not knowing where to go.
And just as quickly as it came, the shadow left.
The animals and birds in the neighborhood settled down, but still looked pretty shook up for a while.
I wonder how Bigfoot in foothills of the Cascade mountain range in Oregon State handled it today?
Of course, being very active during nocturnal hours, maybe, just maybe, they slept right through it for the most part. Unless when the sky went dark, they woke up early, thinking that it was time to get up for the day (or night as it might seem).
Oh well, I guess we will never know!
