I escaped DFW and went to BOS, then drove to Newport, VT. NWS was saying that east of the Green Mountains would be mostly clear while places west would have viewing obstructed by high clouds. Saw totality near the lake. Traffic was awful though, similar to Chile in 2019. The federal government should revoke funding for I-93 given that I-93 has a section where there's only 1 lane in each direction (a violation of Interstate highway standards) and this caused a massive traffic jam. I waited for 5 hours in Newport for the traffic to clear and left at 8:30 pm but still didn't get back to Manchester, NH until 1:30 am. That time, I specifically avoided I-93 due to the one lane segment but there were jams all the way down I-91 and I-89, including some stop and go traffic after 1 am.
