I would have driven you if you had asked me. :flower:


I would have gone for it if i had I known you were headed that way. Good ol hindsight.

oh well, there's Texas in 2025.


:lol: Actually April 8, 2024. Don't be a year late, or you will miss it.

I'm so envious of all you guys in the States. Nothing this spectacular is ever visible in the UK because we nearly always have too much cloud-cover. This place sucks monkey's balls.

salem Oregon, a node along the path of the last American solar eclipse, was totally rained out, which disappointed a LOT of people there that year who had travelled a long ways to see the eclipse there.


That was pretty much the story of that eclipse for everyone. It was in the middle of winter. My family moved away from my hometown which was right on the center line, just a few years before the eclipse. It made me sad at the time. But it probably didn't really matter. I think it was snowing there during the eclipse.

from what I read it rained heavily that day. but other nodes along the eclipse path were clear. just not for those unfortunate salem folks.

I'm pretty sure we will be alive in 2024. I don't think I will make it long enough to see the 2045 eclipse though. But I'm going to shoot for that one too, anyway.

A lot of people are going to see that one. It's going to hit a lot of population centers. Reno, Salt Lake City, Denver, Oklahoma City, Montgomery, Tampa, Orlando, and Miami, then all the way down the East Coast of South America. It will be about two to three times longer then this one too. The bad this about this eclipse, it was way too short.
