I spent 7 hours driving today for 3 minutes and 23 seconds of totality and it was totally worth it.
I did 40 hours of driving for 2 minutes of totality in 2017 and even that was worth it, so this was a no-brainer. Now, Spain in 2026? Morocco 2027? Australia 2028? Sounds like fun.
@SjamieIt We were in Chicago for the last one and didn’t know about it. Extend our trip. So much driving that day for 2 minutes but it was incredible. Booked a hotel over a year ago for today just to be safe. Was a long day with the toddler but so worth it.
@MrBBeard We went down to Nashville for the last one. Great eclipse and barbecue. For this one we threw our toddler into a tent near the end of the partial eclipse, just to be safe. Back out for totality and then back into the tent after. Couldn't possibly be trusted to not look at it.
