Need an eclipse viewing destination? Open invite!

We’re three weeks out!
If anyone is looking for a destination in the eclipse zone, we have property in the path of totality in Lenoir City, TN.
It’s 3.3 acres along an airstrip. Big T Airport (80TN) for my pilot friends, though flying in is not an option. Just a few miles off I-75 and US321.
Karen and I are inviting anyone who’d like to come a place from which to view the eclipse. Should be an unobstructed view from the runway, weather permitting, of course.
What we have:
Space for camping - tent or RV. Should be enough parking for cars, motorcycles or RVs.
City water.
Power - but just two 20A outlets on a temp pole. Should be enough to charge electronic devices but not to power an RV.
PortaPotty
What we don’t have:
Any kind of RV hookups - plan on boondocking for a day or two if you have an RV.
Not far away is a Petro gas station with dump facilities for $5, and an Ace Hardware that can fill propane tanks.
Caution: no telling what traffic will be like. Might be a good idea to plan an arrival at least a day or two early.
Anyway, if this sounds like a good idea, let me know at [email protected] if you plan on coming and I’ll send directions.
