    Question Where are you viewing the 2023 & 2024 Solar Eclipses?

    The warnings of traffic and weather worried me, but there was no traffic for us and the clouds were kind enough for us to watch it progress and complete including before & after diamond rings. My iPhone tried to photograph it, but there was enough haze to mess that up. Here's my daughter, two...

    Question Where are you viewing the 2023 & 2024 Solar Eclipses?

    I've seen many posts on FB about how crowded the roads will be after. I guess we were lucky in 2017 when we just got off the hiway blindly an hour before Totality and checked out the parks in a city of 35,000. The third park wasn't crowded and had dumpsters & porta-potties. After it was done...

    Forecasts more than three days out aren't very dependable. I want to experience the Totality even under clouds so I'm going.

    Not much info as usual. It sounds like he was solo shore diving, but there is no road access to Macquarie Heads on the western side of the entrance to Macquarie Harbour. Two other links on the net show similar headlines but those articles are behind paywalls I could not breach...

    Question Where are you viewing the 2023 & 2024 Solar Eclipses?

    We viewed the August 2017 Total E in Idaho on the way to the airport, and I think we had about 2 minutes of Totality. We're promised over 4 minutes for this one in April and I expect that with cooler overall temps and longer darkness that it will get chilly. I have Eclipse T-shirts for all 7...

    Question Where are you viewing the 2023 & 2024 Solar Eclipses?

    I called my hotel today to confirm. Good thing I did. The property recently sold, they are overbooked so canceling others, but they are keeping reservations for those who call to confirm. It certainly seems like Murphy's Law is in play here.
