I'll add my pearls of wisdom later - for now, here are the images :-)


I had been scared stiff of delays due to Eclipse traffic based on reports from Oregon a couple of days before the event. So, instead of leaving at about 9 am, as originally planned, I left at 4:45 am!! Surprise!!! There was not much traffic on the roads. Approaching Jacksonville, I could see the sky lightening in the early morning light.


And I ran into some traffic. "What the!", I went.


Fortunately, it was some construction traffic that had shut down the I-95 to a single lane.


Crossing St John's river ...


... I was greeted by some nice cloudy scenery ...






... and the Sun made his appearance.


Passing through small towns ...


... this was what the traffic looked like! I had the whole road to myself.


There were places with some nice scenery, such as this one, which I just had to stop and take a photo of!


Approachig Augusta ...


... there was a mishmash of highway shields!


Crossing I-20 ...


... I came to this intersection that, to me, appeared to have one signal head too many. I assume they wanted to make absolutely sure that folks obeyed the signal, so installed an extra head!
