I'd booked a hotel just south of ABQ. Went out to the parking lot of the hotel for the eclipse. Lots of people there, mostly, but not exclusively, people staying at the hotel. Where we were, two different people set up telescopes with filters, so we could safely watch the eclipse through the telescopes. Most people had eclipse glasses, and I had plenty of extras for those who didn't have them.

It was a wonderful experience.
