A Visit To The 2nd Highest Spot In Southern Illinois

On this edition of Enlightening The Eclipse: Countdown To 2017 we visit to the highest point in southern Illinois and talk to Teresa Gilbert, the Director of Bald Knob Cross Of Peace in Alto Pas about what it is like to plan a Solar Eclipse Viewing Event at a site reached only by two-line, winding country roads.

Gilbert added that these community groups are playing a big role in organizing the August 21st Solar Eclipse Viewing Event at Bald Knob:

Egyptian Board of Realtors in Marion, Murphysboro High School Key Club, In The Wind Ministries in Herrin, Southern Seven Health Department and the Shawnee Amateur Radio Association.
