Tips on Traveling to Eclipse Path

If you can travel to the eclipse path from your home, watch the weather forecast the day before and head toward the section of the eclipse path prognosticated to be clearest.  Remember, you only need to see the sky for an hour or so. Once in totality’s path you could find a state park or even pull into a mall and park — better yet, head to "The West Bank", we'll be serving up some hot beverages. We also will have several sets of glasses available for those who dare look upwards. — Just bring a blanket in case it is chilly. Be sure to allow time for possible traffic jams on 5&20 — In 2017, Frank and Bex told stories of folks stuck on the road during the eclipse.  Don't be disappointed — come early — perhaps over the weekend to avoid the crowds.

If you’ve ever wanted to see nature’s #1 spectacle, don’t miss this one. No eclipse will touch the U.S. again until August 12, 2045, when totality’s path will sweep across 11 states from northern California to directly over Disneyworld in Florida. After that there will be two only a year apart in 2078 and 2079. You can see the general pattern. Typically a 20-year-wait between opportunities.
