A friend of us, US citizen living in France, who designs Sets with us is in US
as of right now.
He rented a camping car and is in the desert, just to see the eclipse!
Curiously, desert and camping car now makes me think to something else

That's us! We're in an RV, in a makeshift campground just south of Uvalde,
Texas. Had a beautiful evening last night. Dark clear skies and we managed to
see the comet (with binoculars). It was close to the horizon, and hard to pick
out, so we're hoping it will be clearer during the eclipse today as it will
be high above the horizon.
But. The forecast here is not good. We will probably just see clouds.  We're
keeping our fingers crossed. Luckily we have 10 days of driving throught desert
doing some hiking and mountain biking afterward, so we'll have some fun with
or without the eclipse.

It reminds me of the one we almost saw in 1999.
(Well, at least Mir didn’t fall on Paris that day….)

For the pathway that will allow you to experience the event more fully across
North America, check online. Nasa among others, offers a fun accounting.

Let's hope you get clear skies in spite of the forecasts

What we learned during our adventurous years in the national park areas of Southern
Utah: set the target or goal out as motivation, but make (time and effort) the
journey itself, the real experience. So many of our backcountry treks
had amazing destinations set-out. But our memories (kids and I) when relived,
seem to always be of the journeys, the unplanned experiences.

Nice!
Share what you can of it, with your fellow BL members here
|
I’m driving to Brantford tomorrow with my cousins to see it!
I hope to get some pics for you guys!
Lucky Nubs lives right in the path of totality so all he has to do is step outside!
|
Almost but not quite I’m like a 30 min drive (probably not exactly
but give or take an hour or 2) away from it
