On Monday, April 8, Darke County, Ohio, will be in the Path of Totality for the 2024 Eclipse.

They can arrive as early as Thursday, April 4, and leave as late as Saturday, April 13. The attendees will have full hookups with water, sewer, and 30-amp electric, and a limited number of 50-amp sites are available.

In addition, coordinating with Airstream, Inc., three different tours will be offered:   the Heritage Center, the Motorhome Factory, and the Travel Trailer Factory at the Mothership in Jackson Center, Ohio, on Tuesday or Wednesday.
