I was in NC for the 2017 eclipse. I have an Eclipse of the Dragon T-shirt. Highway 129, aka "The Tail of the Dragon" is an infamous curvy road for motorcycles and sports cars enthusiasts.
We parked on the Blue Ridge Parkway facing west. We watched as the shadow of the moon crossed mountan ridges and finally went over us. All the birds and insects got quiet. The temperature dropped and a rush of cool air came off the mountain behind us. It was something to behold.
I really want to find a good spot to see this next one.

It is pretty cool. Had a full eclipse over calirado a few years ago. Exactly as you described.
“calirado” 😂 I was there for that too. Pretty amazing experience.
