Traveling to eclipse August 21st?...
I need to go Northeast about 600 miles to get 100%... Whose gonna meet me in St Louis?...
Re: Traveling to eclipse August 21st?...
Yeah, I need to go about 400 miles to the totality zone. I'm thinking about just staying home and viewing it. I'll be at about 87%.
But I'd still like to see it 100%...

Smithville Lake, north of Kansas City looks like a good spot. Get out of the city. Wanna meet me there Geoff? I've got an extra pair of viewing glasses...

Actually, it'll be damn close to where you live...

Just get your wife to walk past you.
Re: Traveling to eclipse August 21st?...
Ooooooooo.
Will be peepin' it from Vancouver. Close enough for me. What is totality, 2 minutes or so? Not worth the trek... I'll stare straight into the eclipse on 300 mics of LSD, it'll be grand.

I'm taking the day off of work to get closer to the 100% zone.
Re: Traveling to eclipse August 21st?...

pretty nifty. of course if this happened around geoff's way they'd probably sacrifice some virgins to bring back the day ball (assuming they could even find any virgins)

sounds like you're gonna have a ball Geoff. 

Re: Traveling to eclipse August 21st?...
Got my hotel for Sunday in Topeka Kansas. Just gotta drive about an hour north of there to be in the path of totality 

Re: Traveling to eclipse August 21st?...
Do yourself a favor and don't take pics. Have fun. 
It's too far of a drive for me, but in 2024 another total eclipse will actually come through my state, and I may not even need to leave my house for the best view.

Re: Traveling to eclipse August 21st?...
Damn, lucky.
The one in 2024 will be closer for me too, but I figured I might as well see this one too. Ya never know, the weather may not cooperate. Or I could even be dead...

That's how I'm looking at it. A lot can happen between now and 2024.xer0s wrote:Damn, lucky.

Re: Traveling to eclipse August 21st?...
So Geoff made this thread but never responded about really going. Too poor to go?
Re: Traveling to eclipse August 21st?...
No... Too busy... Kids already in school.... My school starts soon...
Re: Traveling to eclipse August 21st?...
Too poor to make it happen...
Re: Traveling to eclipse August 21st?...
Change of plans. Clouds in Nebraska, so we drove to Wyoming. 12 hour drive, but I feel pretty confident the skies will be clear. Way excited for tomorrow

Well it's cloudy here with a chance of rain. Guess I will catch the next one.
