Is it just me or is all this hype about traffic backups, major traffic jams, sold out hotels/motels, etc. for the eclipse, starting to sound like Y2K all over again?
We live in the path of totality and just out of curiosity I started checking some of the campgrounds for site availability for the 23rd. Mostly no problem if you want a site.
X2 ... Definitely sounds like Y2K again.
It won't be as bad as the hype, but it won't be a non-event. There are people coming from all over the world, especially to the larger cities where there are other attractions. I guarantee there will be traffic stopped on the sides of all roads, and wrecks from people trying to drive and watch at the same time. You would be prudent to stay off the roads for a couple of hours before and after.
It's also too late to get lodging booked if you don't have it.
I told my cousin she should rent out RV spots in her yard for $$$$, LOL.
