So, where will everyone be heading for the 2024 solar eclipse? There are some National Forests along the path of totality, so I may try to get that put into my daytimer. 😉

The total eclipse was fantastic! Amazing how fast it got dark. I had hoped to see the shadow race across the hillsides, but didn't see that.
We let the traffic settle down before leaving, and again, the roads were empty.
What a great weekend!

We were right on the line, and saw stars and heard crickets chirping for 2 minutes.
I saw the one in 1979 as a kid, and now my kids have seen one. They already talking about Vermont
2024 where ironically we have other family to stay with

Did it get much darker than a light overcast would appear?
Sounds like traffic was not as bad as they were forecasting in the Wyoming and Nebraska areas. Any difficulties traveling, or at camp?

At just a few minutes later (PST) we'll be watching it live, on the big screen, at 100% totality from a perfect site near Stanley, Idaho via this website: https://www.slooh.com/
The RV will be out in the backyard keeping it's batteries charged. 🙂

I've reluctantly decideed I'm better off staying home. I didn't get the Winnebago back from repair shop until late Friday afternoon and I never had a chance to even change the bedding, much less load up dishes/pans/toilet paper or change out the current chair for a recliner. (I need one to sleep in.) So I could kill myself rushing to get ready and then drive a new-to-me rig in heavy traffic while I am tired, or I could stay home with my own bed and my own bathroom and see 97% eclipse. I'm still looking forward to our test run but it will be after I have taken my time getting ready.

Well... so are thousands of others. The problem is that in Jackson and surrounding roads, especially near Teton and YS parks are already packed from regular summer traffic. If you are coming here, do not expect to go anywhere for many hours or even days before or after as the roads do not have the capacity to move the even regular summer traffic well.
On I-15, authorities are planning to turn possibly 3-4 lanes of the 4 lane I-15 of traffic to south bound only.

This kind of setup worked for us years ago to get tower service 25 miles north of Plush way out in the OR Outback.
Good luck ... let us know how it went!
