We’re in Las Vegas now, after spending a few days with my mother and brother down in Pasadena, after driving from home near San Francisco. We’re headed east to Texas to view this eclipse. Today we hit the road and plan to see Hoover Dam, Meteor Crater, and Petrified Forest on our way eastward.

Who is making the migration to totality?

I live in Youngstown Ohio, and we're forecast to reach 99.8% totality. I realize that being this close means I should make an effort to travel to an area that will reach full totality. But the weather is not looking great, and I can't really can't miss more than a couple hours of work. So, I'm looking forward to whatever show I will get. In 2017, I enjoyed the <80% we got with that eclipse.

If you don't see totality, then you are not seeing it. It's like going to the Superbowl and watching the game from the parking lot outside.

We drove from Chinle AZ to Alamogordo NM today, with brief stops at Canyon de Chelly, and at Window Rock AZ which is the capital of the Navajo Nation. Tomorrow we continue eastward towards Texas.

It happened right over our heads last year, so we could watch from our driveway.
