We're way out in the mere 50% path. We saw the last one so we won't travel for this one. Last time, we were a bit out of the total path but we drove about 130 miles to visit some friends who were in line with it. It was well worth that short trip.

A lot of small Texas towns are losing their minds over the expected crowds. I'm going turkey hunting.

It is only about 100 miles away. I have been giving thoughts to it.

When the sun is partially covered and it starts to cool down, keep in mind that the Dems have floated plans to put some kind of sun shield in orbit between the earth and sun to block sunlight. What a disaster it would be if they tried and it actually worked.

We had a partial eclipse the day I got married. I'm still wondering if it was a bad omen 42 years later.

Take a canoe down the current river, Eminence, MO, and kill two birds with one stone. I plan on fishing the White River that morning !
if a man speaks, and there isn't a woman around to hear him, is he still wrong?

The astronomers put this event kinda close to the Tulsa Gun Show.
Shouldn’t have timed it to interfere with this other major “can’t miss” phenomenon...

Is anyone travelling to view the upcoming full totality eclipse? If everything works out, we may do a loop and end up down near Mena, AR. Hoping for clear skies to get some nice pics!! I don't know why you wouldn't want to go to Cleveland for that!

The news is saying that our town (Boerne TX) of 20k will see 20K visitors for the eclipse.

They are expecting an additional 500,000-1 million people in and around Erie County/Buffalo NY to view. Already talking about shutting things down via a state of emergency.
Only issue (a big one at that) is there is a 60-70% chance of overcast skies. That’d be disappointing for many.

We had an annular in October about 200 miles from here. We'd planned to go and camp with some friends but it ended up as a no go with the weather. We had to cancel. The path crossed western Oregon and I heard that many people went to see it but it got clouded out, too. The OR coast would be a high risk trip.
