I think there is supposed to be a lunar eclipse, checking yeah there is but not in Georgia. Too bad.
Is that right? I was really counting on seeing it, and this makes it sound like I could:
Who will see the September 27-28 total lunar eclipse? The September 2015 full moon passes directly through Earth’s dark (umbral) shadow. The total part of this eclipse lasts for 72 minutes. A partial umbral eclipse precedes totality by some 64 minutes, and follows totality by about the same period of time, so the moon takes about 3 and 1/3 hours to completely sweep through the Earth’s dark shadow.
North America, South America, the Atlantic Ocean, Greenland, Europe, Africa and the Middle East are in a good position worldwide to watch the total eclipse of the moon. If you live in the Americas, the total eclipse happens after sunset September 27.

In any event, we went to Tallulah Gorge SP for the first time a couple years ago and loved it! The campground itself is fine, but the area, including the hike down to the gorge and playing around on the lake, is special.
