Here's a link for the path of the April 8th 2024 total eclipse.

Based on the date, it looks like few (if any) AT hikers will experience the total eclipse - pretty early for Maine.
My house is about 5 miles inside the totality zone. Looks like a good day (Monday) for a vacation day and a mid-day bonfire. It will also be pretty cool to drive a few miles east and be at the totality / partial interface.
To avoid the 2017 solar glasses supply issue, I ordered mine last week. NASA has a list of reputable suppliers on their site to ensure that you're not buying cheap Chinese knockoffs that will leave you blind.
Have fun!
