I didn't go anywhere, just made my own pin-hole camera and walked out back behind the office. Put a few pages together on the ground, and had a few other sheets of paper stapled together with the center cut out and a pinhole through a piece of aluminum foil taped to the sheet. Stood over it with the sun at my back and held it over the white sheet on the ground.

Below was one of the better pics, but it got to an estimated 92% coverage of the sun. We were amazed how much light where still was, even though parking and security lights were coming on.

I hung out with @Nat67 via Skype and took turns looking at it through my welding mask.

Really appreciated that Norm . Allways great to spend time with you .
How cool if you think about it ? Sitting in an armchair in Dartmoor England , having breakfast with a friend in Nevada USA and then stepping out to the porch to watch a solar eclipse . All in realtime !
You have a beautiful home mate .

My wife and I drove out on the crappy dirt roads to the middle of nowhere to be on the center line. Fantastic view of the eclipse.
