Eclipse Eve

So we finally got to the final destination.   About 1050 miles from home.   Slept in as nothing on the agenda much for today.   We had a nice breakfast of eggs and stuff on the grill outside.  I was smart enough to book a spot near the shower house so that was convenient.   We took a ride into the thriving metropolis of Cadiz, Ky ( Pop 2558).   Nice little town and they were ready for the Eclipsers to show up.  Many a shop had t-shirts and such, as well as photo ops with face cut outs.   Here are a few pics from town:

Naya trying out a pig.  There was a pig on just about every corner, each one painted differently.

Enjoying a nice bistro set up in the Antique store.  I bought a nice 3 gal drink cooler that color matched the Pineapple.  Period correct too, Ted Williams Model from Sears Roebuck!

Took this pic for my Mom.  Right up her alley lol.

After a run through a few antique stores, we hit the local grocery to stock up for dinner and Monday's viddles.  Afterwards, we dropped off the food at the site and headed over to the resort conference center for a talk by an astronomer.   I forget his affiliation, by highly knowledgeable and has been chasing Total Eclipses since the late 1960s!  I went in thinking I wouldn't learn anything, but I was wrong!  Picked up some good tidbits of info on things to look at, etc.

We drove down to the 'beach' and formulated our plan for the next day on where to set up, etc.  Then at 4PM there was Archery.  I took a pass and chilled at the campground but Lucy's Dad and Naya both got some bullseyes...

Other than that it was a pretty low key day.  Probably the most relaxing day (aside from tomorrow) of the whole trip....
