A side note, many schools in SC have cancelled classes that day. I guess the potential liability for a kid's eye injury outweighs the educational value of the event.
Our son lives right in the path near Greenville. His wife teaches at a local high school and they are extending the school day to keep the kids there for the event. We’re driving in on Friday in our motorhome - we made our campground reservations right after Christmas. I imagine it will be a parking lot everywhere. We’ll be taking the back roads to our son’s house for the viewing.
