    I saw the 2017 one traveling about 80 miles north of Boise I(absolutely awesome) but will skip this one due to all the nasty weather forecasts. Fredericksburg Texas was my planned destination but cancelled a while back. Many of you are well within the relatively wide path of totality (Mexico to Maine). Best luck to you. Post some photos please. I'll find mine from 2017 and re-post. :thumbs up:

    Im skipping this one. Spent the day in the path of totality for the last one. It was very cool, but don’t feel the need to do it again.

    This is either My 3rd, or 4th one . It means so little to me that I can't even remember.

    Well once again a lot of hype and nada in South Jersey. Few years back was on the beach on a sunny day and saw nada but that one we were a little off the path. Days and days of social media, news, jokes, what to do, how to prepare BS and at 2:30 today (the expected time) I was hitting a golf shot into the air and once again nada.

    You guys they did experience it, IMO that was a great lifetime experience.

    As Strummer said, saw the last one successfully, to try again is to tempt fate. So many things can create failure - namely the weather. Millions of folks got fleeced for this one with ridiculous jacked up hotel, air fair, rental car and restaurant prices from what I'm hearing. Have to do totality at least once in your lifetime though.

    2000 in Europe
    2017 in Nashville
    Was actually supposed to be in Broken Bow for this one but had to push a few months back.
    Enjoyed it from Florida for a bit though, why not when at the Space Coast.
