Anyone taking a road trip to experience the total solar eclipse on April 8th?

I’m planning a 4 hour ride from my house to be in its path, but I’m thinking traffic is going to be a nightmare.

 

Yup. Already have my glasses! I'm in upstate PA, and planning to head toward Buffalo. It might take me only 3 hrs to get to the center of the path. I'm up in the hills, so I'm not anticipating lots of traffic. Should be a cool experience.

 

I am in Montgomery County but will be in Austin for work training on that day so we will see. My understanding is the last one was such a mess in Austin a lot of businesses are going to be taking the day off because when it is over in the afternoon everyone is going to bail.

I am curious to see what will happen in Texas since it is going over many populated areas maybe it won't be so bad? Oh...who am I kidding. These morons dont need a solar eclipse to drive foolish.

 

I am off work at 230 & would need to drive thru Boston
Not happening

 

Too cool. Be sure to take those special eclipse glasses. Google it. They had them free at the local library in VA a while back when we had a good one.

There cheap at most stores.

There free here to.

Heading there on the 1st to the west end of San Antonio, got the Military Air show at Randolph that weekend too.
Great time with the grandkids that weekend!!
got my camera and glasses ready!

 

I’ve coincidentally found myself in the path of two total eclipses in my 74 years.
It gets dark, then it gets light.
Same thing it does everyday, but in less time.
Y’all enjoy.

 

Well, that’s just great. Now, you’ve ruined it for everyone!😎

 

During the one on 8/21/17 we were on a Northwest tour. We were at exactly to zero point when it started in Oregon. We were at a point of complete eclipse, and even though street lights came on, it really wasn’t very dark. It was kind of an eerie weird kind of yellowish color.

 

I'll be on my deck, but it is ohio in april so it's probably going to rain so, most likely in the shop
