All I could afford wrote:
I'm seriously considering making the 700 or so mile drive down to SC from New Jersey. Not bringing the TT, either staying in cheapest motels I can find, or using the "10 man" tent for me, wife, and 3 kids. I need to show these kids that there is more to this word than what u see on your phone!
I agree....my kids are spoiled and when my son asked about going from hearing it in his 7th grade class I felt compelled to go. I did mentioned to them that we are staying at a campground with no bells and whistles and plenty of nature (bring fishing poles). 19hr drive from MA to see a 2 1/2 minute eclipse my son keeps saying is a once in a lifetime thing. I booked Twin Lakes on Lake Hartwell near Clemson, SC
