Total Solar Eclipse - Aug 21, 2017 (Greenville, Spartanburg: for sale, house, buy)

My hiking group is heading to Gorges State Park in WNC; I think there will be huge crowds there. I'm debating as to whether I should go or just stay at the Commerce Club, where they are having a party for members.

For those to have to keep commuting during the event, I heard that SC DOT will have signs up to tell motorists not to stop on the highway and look at the sun.
