Less than a mile from the Blue Ridge<\/strong><\/mark>, MP 199.4 entrance. We’re definitely in the mountains. At 2,914′, it got Cold <\/mark><\/strong>at night, below freezing the first night! And Fancy Gap KOA, besides providing us with Eclipse sunglasses, provided a Weather Rock. It was quite accurate. Yes, that is Lizzy<\/mark><\/em><\/strong> off to the right.

We were on the Blue Ridge Parkway<\/strong><\/mark> for the Solar Eclipse on Monday…where it was to reach ~85%, but<\/span><\/strong> was mostly cloudy all day. BUT<\/strong>…miracle of miracles, the sun peeped out of the clouds, for about 5 minutes, RIGHT about halfway during the time of the eclipse.  AND we were not driving, but walking around Mabry Mill<\/mark><\/strong>.  So we got to see what was probably the smallest sliver here and Gail managed to grab a picture, with her solar glasses over her phone lens.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
