I was also planning on Colebrook but upon arrival earlier than expected I ventured up to Pittsburg and landed at Lake Francis (and in doing so I now know there are 3 Connecticut Lakes!) I have a video, similar to my pictures, it isn't great, but will find a way to share it. The traffic getting through Colebrook was expected (1 hour or so) but the Errol backup wasn't expected and took about as long. All things considered, this is beautiful countryside so it was perfectly fine. Day 6 after the experience and still in awe You tube it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkO Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 Secnds before totality we saw a bright flash. My nephew got it on video. Still have no idea what it was. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamarack Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 From the Franklin County Sheriff's weekly report on the Daily Bulldog. It took me 2:20 to cover the 22 miles from Flagstaff Lake to Kingfield. Without their work, it might've been more than twice as long. 04/08/2024 1200hrs, all available Sheriff’s Deputies as well as the Sheriff participated in traffic control in the Rangeley area and from Kingfield to Coburn Gore. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume right at centerline it is the darkest as the distance is greater to the sunlight on either side. That light switch effect is amazing because it happens so fast. Even that last .25% of sunlight is so strong that until the 2nd contact there is not much to see except that sliver through the glasses. Then bam, it all happens!. At my location it was a 98% partial and my friend who was up was not very impressed. Too much hype for what, the light just got a bit dimmer but really nothing of note to see. It was a bit difficult to tell locals that they had to make that 45 mile trip north. well said... need to get to the center line as much as possible. the further in the shadow the better 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interestingly totality only lasts 1m50sec max. Looks like path also goes over Ibiza, but not sure I'd have patience for that vibe while seeking natural beauty. All again highlights just how special this NNE occurrence was. with eclipse near sundown, make sure your sight lines are excellent. i'd expect most people wanting to be on the coast so mountains don't have an impact Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
