One person who may not be there is Jane Tomlin.
"I do have to say it was probably one of the most awesome natural experiences I've ever seen," said Tomlin, co-owner of Tomlin BBQ in Rabun Gap, which was packed with tens of thousands of sun gazers. Tomlin's restaurant was closed that day, but she and watched from her yard with friends and family. "Would I travel anywhere else to see it? I doubt it, I'm not much of a crowd person, but it was pretty fantastic."
