Eclipse'ed

Big cloud obscured for us in Brevard South Carolina at the Oscar Blues Brewery
They did have Jai Alai IPA on tap!

The Pisgah thunderwas almost worth the trip though

The extra 4 hours of traffic on Tuesday was a nice cherry on top

fuckin covid!  like two years ago was making plans for being in the path

fuckin covid!  like two years ago was making plans for being in the path

uh, are you not assuming that things will be back to normal and we'll be travelling again by 2024?  how did covid eff this up for you?

we already have plans for '24: friends in ohio have invited us to crash their place and see the eclipse from their backyard   i'd like to go further south and get a longer totality, but the peak is in central mexico (4:28!) and i don't see myself hanging about there... maybe we can upgrade to texas.

I think he’s really baked and doesn’t realize it’s currently the year 2021....

well this information did come to me on the day Virginia legalized weed...so there is that

longer totality is always the goal...dead center of the path is critical
If you can find a high point and see it as it comes it would be recommended

Just realized my parent's place is right in the center between Buffalo and Erie (Duration of totality: 3 minutes, 47 seconds)
 Austin (4mins 27 seconds)

I think being dead center is more important than length

Folks who saw the last one talk about it like it was the rapture or something.

I'm looking at you, Burlington, VT...........

[grateful]

What're your plans for the eclipse? April 8th is coming up soon!

[Dejecty-hatch lııllı|̲̅̅●̲̅̅|̲̅̅=̲̅̅|̲̅̅●̲̅̅|llıl]

Heading New York and plan to catch it on the banks of lake Erie

[grateful]

I'll be at Kent State, near Cleveland
