You can't plan a trip. You need to find out where it is going to be sunny and go there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I made the mistake of traveling to Goldendale, WA for our last one. Goldendale has some kind of elevation and topographical properties that even drew Albert Einstein to the observatory there in the '20s to prove one of his theories. So I thought, oh boy this is where I'm going! Thing was over in a few minutes. Long ride... Underwhelmed at best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to find out where it is going to be sunny and go there. you have to plan and get close, the forecast/cloud cover isn't reliable until 24 hrs before, even 12 hrs, unless the weather is wide open with no storms, early april in the south has about a 55% chance of clouds almost everywhere. the best odds are in TX and that's way too far.

Lots of places near the totality area are running $5-600 and they require a 2 day stay, that would suck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WVU Posted February 25 Report Share Posted February 25 When my mom died a year ago it was quick. I wish I had more time to be annoyed and to annoy her. 😞 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
