Rock Chuck:

Unity Réservoir. Chickahominey and Burns/Hines were about 70 miles south of the centerline. Unity was right on the money.





Cookie used a Mylar filter for the pre and post phases. During those intervals, the sun can still cook one's camera sensors. Diamond ring through totality, it's safe to remove the filter. A Canon EOS 70 D wearing a 500 mm prime. Being a crop camera, that's the equivalent of 800 mm glass.

Cookie just got a new knee this past Tuesday, so we're sadly not traveling for this event.

Chickahominey has water and fish now (rainbow). Filled last spring and they planted fingerlings. They should be up to about 12 inchers now and the lake should have picked up some more water with the recent melt.

Safe travels and clear skies to those that are getting out. It's worth the trip.
