After driving for 1.5 hours in the fog from Sidney to Scottsbluff at 5:30 am, the skies cleared at 8:30 am and not a single white puff for 5 hours. But, I did give up a minute of totality, only 1:35 of totality. No 360 degree sunset and the street light came on, but stress free. A sure thing was worth it along with the crowd of 8 people in the park and a dozen or so on the rooftops of downtown Scottsbluff. And I got a couple of really cool tee shirts.

No traffic or fuel problems. Another media frenzy.
