Solar Eclipse From the Path of Totality

SEE MIKE STINNETT'S TOTAL ECLIPSE 2017 EXPERIENCE
My home just happens to be right smack dab in the middle of the eclipse path of totality. We've had a lot of visitors to our quiet town in the last few days. Come along with us as we watch a once in a lifetime spectacle from the hills up behind my house.

That was some great filming, bet it was nice to see all the visitors going home. Peace restored in the valley once again.

[@anishsomanoff]

"You can usually cross the highway without looking both sides" nice quote 👍😀

[@StinnettSticks]

Haha! Thanks :)

[@jtavenner7914]

simply love your videos! Real, down to earth, and your sidekick Pearl, just draw ya right in!

[@StinnettSticks]

Thanks for watching! I'm glad you enjoy the videos! Pearl is a pretty good little buddy!

[@giorgioverde2174]

Io non sono molto esperto con la tua lingua, ma mi è sembrato di capire che avevi una mezza intenzione si vedere l'eclissi in quella piccola cittadina, ma il caos non fa per te, quindi hai optato per vederla nel tuo vero mondo con chi ti sta più a cuore, tua moglie e la tua cagnolina! Io penso che non potevi fare una scelta migliore Mike, il tuo mondo è un mondo speciale che non hanno tutti, e non tutti possono avere la sensibilità di cogliere tutti gli aspetti importanti di quel mondo. Sono felice per te e ti auguro ogni bene. Un complimento alla copertina del video con Pearl con gli occhiali!!! Attenzione che se vai avanti così lei ti rubera' la scena!!

[@StinnettSticks]

Yes, That is correct. Thank you for your kind comment!

[@JackPlatt]

Mike this was an incredible video! I love your channel and beautiful artworks and designs!

[@StinnettSticks]

Thank you very much, Jack! The eclipse was really interesting to see.

[@daleolsen9879]

beautiful done Mike! and congratulations to the person doing the camera work , excellent job!

[@StinnettSticks]

Thank you, Dale, from all of us!

[@sapelesteve]

Awesome video Mike, thanks so much for posting! So glad to see all of those visitors heading out of there & leaving you folks to your peace & quiet................. :)

[@StinnettSticks]

Thank you very much! Haha, For a while I felt like a stranger in my own town. We're back to normal now.

[@dylanweatherly]

I love your videos! I cannot express the sheer enjoyment that i feel when I watch your channel. Thank you for making every day a good one and keep up the amazing work.

[@StinnettSticks]

Thank you very much, Dylan! I appreciate that.

[@johngoodall7097]

Mike you kept your promise to show us all the eclipse,and as usual with your videos, it was easy watching, thank you, John.

[@StinnettSticks]

You're very welcome, John! I'm glad I was able to share it with you and others who didn't get to see it first hand.

[@ringo8203]

By far this is the best eclipse video; simple perfection Thank you Sr.

[@StinnettSticks]

Well, thank you very much!

[@josephmarshall7943]

Thanks for sharing, great video! Hope all is well.

[@StinnettSticks]

Your welcome, Josheph! Thanks for your comment.

[@scratchbuildermodels254]

This has to be the most stress free lifestyle ever, I’m so jelly.

[@lonewalker4115]

I think the best thing we all can take from you is to slow down and take the time to enjoy life and the simple things that matter and the natural beauty of things

[@Tommyakridgedesigns]

We only got 80 percent coverage here in lower Alabama, thanks for showing how great it was there!

[@StinnettSticks]

I was glad to share it for those who didn't get to see the whole thing. It really was pretty cool!

[@ulricspiva3668]

I like the starting comment of where you don't have to look both ways when crossing the street. Our small town was once that way, I used to tell people that our town was so small, that all 4 city limit signs were on the same post

[@scotty2804]

Great video what a site that you had wonderful country would love to live there thanks for the video sir and God bless you and pearl and family look forward to the next one Brian

[@StinnettSticks]

Thank you, Brian! I really do enjoy the country and it was pretty neat that we just happened to be in the right place for the eclipse. I only had to go on the hill behind the house to get a good view. God bless you and your family, too!

[@hl78BEAST]

Pearl looks pretty funny in the thumbnail!!! Now that will grab some attention!!! I love your sticks, you, and pearl

[@StinnettSticks]

Thank you very much!

[@dynahscooter]

I live in far NE Ga, near the SC border, start of the Ap Trail. We were in direct line. Was same..nonstop traffic, all hotel/motel's booked, town selling out of everything. Did the same..pulled my lawn lounger into the yard (not really a yard, live in a 800 sq ft cabin in the woods)...and just sat in the silence, even the birds went silent, from beginning, far past the end. Saw the Diamond burst, have not cried that hard in quite awhile. God is wonderful...think most people missed that all bunched up at Brasstown Bald like ants. It was breath taking.

[@StinnettSticks]

That was a really interesting thing to see and experience.

[@lazzymclandrover4447]

Thanks for showing the environment around you... everyone else just focused on the sun.

[@StinnettSticks]

You're welcome, Lazzy! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@stephenandcas]

Brilliant video and way of showing the eclipse.

[@StinnettSticks]

Thank you, Stephen, I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[@billyoerg]

Thanks for sharing Mike. It is an awesome sight. We were about 75% here. Still impressive and beautiful but not the wonder of totality. Glad to hear Pearl enjoyed it too. Bill

[@StinnettSticks]

Hey, Bill. It was an interesting sight to see.

[@gardeningwithgabby8191]

Thank you for this great video of the eclipse Mike. We are down in Northern California out of the path of totality, so this was fun to watch. Pearl is the sweetest little girl! :-) Take care, Gabby

[@StinnettSticks]

You're very welcome, Gabby! I'm glad you enjoyed it! Pearl is always stealing the show! Haha!

[@starmotorsports8937]

I envy you and pearl! I cant wait to grow old and live off the land! Thank you!

[@StinnettSticks]

You're welcome and thanks for watching!

[@rustypanels1917]

Hi Mike, great video (as always) I knew Pearl communicated with you some how. Keep your video;s coming. I always look forward to them. Kind regards from Shayne......Australia.

[@StinnettSticks]

Hi Shayne, good to hear from you! haha, Pearl tells me all kinds of stuff. : )

[@CorneliusCreations]

Great video!

[@StinnettSticks]

Thank you very much!

[@WORMGITTER]

Pearl loved it! I want to Thank You for producing great videos...your channel is great!

[@StinnettSticks]

You're welcome Duke! Thank you for you kind words!

[@highlonesomebluegrass8286]

Wow you guys had a great view! I'm sorry for all those folks invading your small peaceful town. That was a great video, seems like pearl agreed with you getting up to the high country away from all those crazy folk. I'm glad you guys got a good show from Mother Nature. We only got 88% coverage in my neck of the woods. I'll talk to you soon my friend.

[@StinnettSticks]

It really was an interesting thing to see right from behind my house. The folks that came were really nice and quiet. It's the most people this county has ever seen all at once!

[@IdRatherMakeItMyself-Net]

Nice one Mike. I did the same thing and carved during the eclipse myself. :) Here it was only about 80 percent eclipsed so it wasn't quite as spectacular. It was pretty eerie though for about twenty minutes - everything looked pretty silvery and just plain odd. Looked like a nice place to enjoy the event.

[@StinnettSticks]

Haha! That's great, Mark! It really was something to see. The whole country around me looked pretty weird for a while. Kinda like it was some other planet.

[@snakeguy86]

Awesome video I saw a little of the Eclipse but it was all cloud cover here in Rio rancho nm

[@StinnettSticks]

That's too bad. It was a neat thing to see.

[@snakeguy86]

Yeah it was but we only had about 75 percent coverage

[@NeilPost71]

Thanks for sharing! I've been on night work so I slept during it.

[@StinnettSticks]

You're very welcome, Neil! I'm glad you were able to see it this way, at least.

[@aedrianum]

Excelente video. ¡Saludos de Argentina!

[@jefferybiddix1096]

Thanks for the great view!

[@StinnettSticks]

You're very welcome, Jeffery!

[@kurtmckelvey639]

Hey Mike ! Your friend from ARKANSAS here !! Looks like You and Pearl and your wife had a pretty good Perch on the side of that hill !!! We here in Arkansas got to see about 65% not much to the comparison of you guys !!! Thanks Mike for your great videos ! Give Pearl a belly rub for me !!! 🐕

[@StinnettSticks]

Hey, Kurt! Yeah it was a great view point. We all enjoyed it!

[@j.shorter4716]

Very amazing footage; the eclipse wasn't the best in Alabama so it's good to see some good footage of it. Thanks!

[@StinnettSticks]

I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[@glenmckelvey5952]

You got some great video . Here in Quebec we only got 58 percent . I agree with one of the other comments . That's some of the best footage . It didn't seem to bother Pearl to much lol . Thanks take care .

[@StinnettSticks]

Thank you very much, Glen! I really enjoyed being able to film it and share it with everyone. Pearl wasn't worried one bit! haha!

[@Kshatriya-bz8dd]

wow it must of been an amazing experience I envy in the good way here in California well we didn't see much haha..good job with the video one of the best I seen..oh keep posting those amazing carving videos..have a good day...

[@StinnettSticks]

Thank you very much! I'm sorry you didn't get to see the whole thing from where you were. That's why I wanted to get this out for you and others to see.

[@Wheels_United]

I got the amazing experience to view the eclipse from the path of totality in Missouri and it was nowhere near as cool as it seems you had out there in Oregon!! It didn’t get nearly as dark out here where I am but it was still an amazing experience!! God bless

[@StinnettSticks]

Yes, it was a once in a lifetime experience for me. I really enjoyed it! God bless you!

[@amojoe3644]

Thank you grate video I'm in the uk so didn't see it this is the first time I got to 👍

[@StinnettSticks]

You're very welcome! I'm glad to have captured it for you!

[@nickdriessen6159]

Amazing thing to see, isn't it? Great video Mike!

[@StinnettSticks]

Thank you, Nick! Yes it was really neat!

[@juanitahaleyfrizzell2191]

Wow, I can understand why people would come there anytime. I just can't understand why they would want to leave. The peaceful scenery is amazing there. 🕊

[@StinnettSticks]

I do love it here! Thanks, Juanita!

[@hectormcarmonadiaz9184]

You're very welcome, Anthony

[@AdrianNeptune]

I like so much the friendship between you and your dog, it's a joy! Ps have you ever made a raven cane?!

[@StinnettSticks]

She's a good little pup. I haven't made a raven stick yet, but I think it's a great idea!

[@AdrianNeptune]

@@StinnettSticks she's a pup?! Wow she's marvellous, really a pretty dog, fantastic! I'm so glad that the raven stick is a nice idea for you :D i'm excited to see created by you. Ps sorry for my English, i'm of Italian language.

[@rodneywroten2994]

Wow Mike you are so blessed to be in Gods country. and see all his glory. how can people say there is no God. here in north Louisiana bearly see it going across the top. catch you later my friend

[@StinnettSticks]

It really was a spectacular sight to see, Rodney! I wish you could have seen all of it in Louisiana. But I'm glad I took the videos of it to share. The Lord really does some amazing things and it does baffle me that some people don't believe in him. Take care, my friend!

[@jennagraham6266]

I grew up in Redmond, OR. Is that around where you are? Looks the same. Love watching your videos!

[@StinnettSticks]

Yep, pretty close. Thanks for watching!

[@daveweber1331]

Yup, THAT was an eclipse video I can get behind... Sound of sanding (life going on as if nothing was happening) in the background throughout. Thanks, maun! :-) It was pretty cool, like that. But, I wouldn't risk life & limb in that kind of traffic, to get there, for those few minutes... Not in a "hundred years". :-)

[@StinnettSticks]

Yep, if it hadn't of come right over my house, I wouldn't have gone to see it. But since it did, I really enjoyed it.

[@jameshdk3492]

And he is still carving legit!

Great video mate

Thank you very much! Tell your daughter hello from Pearl! Pearl is half Jack Russel Terrier, and she is Dachshund and Yorkshire terrier.

Thanks!

[@julianantoniogilgonzalez6494]

Awesome! Here in Sonora, Mexico, wasn't that spectacular. I took some of my students out of the classroom to watch it meanwhile others remained inside; there are lots of myths here about eclipses.

[@StinnettSticks]

Well, I wish you could have been up North, here, and got a better view of it. It really was an interesting sight.

[@julianantoniogilgonzalez6494]

Stinnett Sticks I'm sure it was! I wish I was there, too. Where do you live?

[@StinnettSticks]

I live in Oregon

[@StinnettSticks]

Thanks, Mike! It really was something to see, wasn't it?

[@DonkeyKrust]

Was that a personal spot that you go to often? Didn't seem like many people knew of good local vantage points.

[@StinnettSticks]

Yes. It is a place that I go to often. It's private property so not many people go there. It was a great vantage point. Thanks for watching!

[@DonkeyKrust]

Thank you, and you're welcome!

Alien invaders came with the eclipse as long as they go with it they probably brought a bit of outside money for the town that was welcome! Another great video
