Summary
Due to the weather these past few days this event is moving from Dixville Notch to Lancaster, NH. Hiking conditions in the Notch are such that the dynamics & safety of that hike has change (especially on top of Table Rock - the eclipse viewing area).
Don't forget to bring your ISO certified eclipse eyewear.
NOTE – The NHDOT & local news are warning of travel delays - especially as you travel into the region of the eclipise. We are hoping, by moving the hike to Lancaster, you will avoid the most significant of these delays.
SCHEDULE:
12:30 pm Hike Mt Prospect (Weeks State Park). Please be on time - factor in increased travel time.
We'll have a quick lunch at the top - so bring your lunch.
You will need boots & traction (microspikes).
Forecast: the low 50s & sunny.
2:30 pm - To view the eclipse in its totality we need to head to intown Lancaster - about 4 miles away from the park. Totality is about 60 seconds duration on the north side of town.
NOTE: There maybe limited parking in Lancaster so we may want to carpool into town - then carpool back to Weeks.

Hi, I am looking forward to being with you all to watch the eclipse. Please let me know if anyone can offer to help me driving up to the location. I couild meet you at a convinient location. Also, I was thinking about coming up on Sunday, so I do not have to drive so much the day of the eclipse. I would love to know if anyone might have a suggestion about a place where I might be able to stay on Sunday night? Thank you.
Hi all, anyone willing to carpool? I can drive to you, and from there ride up together? Let me know.
