You know,,,, I was one of the people saying that you just need to look around more and I still believe that. But,, I just drove from my home in SW MN to Nebraska to see the eclipse. For me this means going down Iowa Highway 60. It runs diagonal along the NW part of Iowa. On the way home, after dark, it seemed like the longest, and most boring road that there is. Hour after hour of nothing. Not even any decent mid sized towns. Thankfully, I had enough gasoline.
The only thing that kept me awake is that it was kinda fun to see everyone going North after the eclipse. lol The Southbound lane were almost empty but, the northbound ones were full of cars. Traffic didn't let up,,,well ever. We got off at Windom, MN and there was still a line of cars continuing on toward Minneapolis.
During the eclipse we saw it at the National Homestead Museum in Nebraska. At one point the host on the microphone asked people which state they were from. When she got to MN a big cheer rang up from the crowd. She laughed and called ti the "Big Minnesota Invasion". lol
