Don't have the vacation time to escape to the mountains for the Total Eclipse of the Sun? Join us Monday afternoon at the Triangle Land Conservancy's Horton Grove Nature Preserve in northern Durham County for an afternoon of blackout fun. (More on that to come.)

We'll begin gathering at 12:30. The transition begins at 1:16 p.m., reaches its 94 percent totality at 2:44, ends at 4:06 p.m. Bring a camp chair. We will set up to watch in the gravel parking lot (park along Jock Road heading in) and adjoining open space. This is a good local spot for viewing, thanks to the expansive Piedmont prairie that offers an expansive view of the sky. We'll do a 3-mile hike following the eclipse.

Again, more details tk.
