West central Ohio. We sat in our yard and had over 3 min of totality. A true once in a lifetime experience. I am sooo glad I took off work to be with my family and experience it. Thanks for sharing your eclipse story!

@Weretherussos 12 днів тому

That is awesome and even better that you were family!

In 2017 we traveled to Kearney, MO to see the eclipse. 2024...we sat in our backyard in Jasper IN. My husband and I got Twice in a Lifetime t-shirts to commemorate having seen both.

Lake Belton TX. The clouds parted at the perfect time. It was totally wow. Being able to do it sitting next to our RV summarizes all the reasons for having an RV! 😊

Thank you for taking us along on your eclipse trip. I was just west of where you were in Russellville, Arkansas. I viewed it with a friend out at Lake Dardanelle SP and then wandered the slow route home and camped 2 more nights in the minivan. Yes I topped off my tank the day before the eclipse, but I really did not feel there would be any shortage of gas. The traffic on my way back north was almost nonexistent... so much for listening to the news. Iceland or Spain either one would be a wonderful place to view an eclipse. Thank you again for documenting your experience. Safe travels.

My mom and step dad are retired and live in the gulf of Texas in Harlingen, so I flew down on Easter from Portland, Oregon. Worked remote for a week and then we drove up to Fredericksburg, a bit north of San Antonio, to be in the path of totality. It was SO worth it. It was like experiencing a 24 hour day in 4 & half minutes! It felt like we went from afternoon to late evening to dawn! My friend in Seymour, Indiana (I am born/raised in Westfield, IN and graduated from Purdue) said it was so wild that the cows on their farm started to walk back to the barn thinking it was evening feeding time. I read that animals would be particularly impacted by the eclipse.

I was right in the center line of totality near Cleveland. The temp drop was a bit shocking and the Prominences could be seen with the naked eyes during totality. The heavens declare the glory of God! Looks like you all had a fabulous time. Those pies looked Awesome!

We watched the eclipse at Lincoln State Park campground just west of Santa Claus, IN (not too far from your neck of the woods I believe). There was approx 2 minutes of totality and you’re right; a partial eclipse doesn’t compare to a total eclipse!!! It was incredible!

@Weretherussos 14 днів тому

There’s no comparison between the two. How was Santa Clause? We’ve been talking about going down there in Fall to check it out

@j.patrickmoore9137 12 днів тому

We caught the 2017 eclipse, about a 15 mile drive for us to experience totality. Definitely worth it, would have loved to catch the 2024 but "the stars didn't align" to make that happen 😅

Well don't let not having a van stop you. You can always fly in somewhere and rent or even grab a hotel and come for the day to join the fun.

We drove 4 hours to the Eastern Shore, camped at a state park in Maryland, and went to Wallops Island. There we saw an approximate 80% eclipse and also watched the launch of 3 sounding rockets. Not a 100% eclipse but a good time nonetheless. We saw the total eclipse in 2017.
