Solar eclipse (annular) October 14, 2023
 

Is anyone here traveling to see this?

Nope but have a room reserved in DAL for the April eclipse. The airfares need to come down for me to actually have the full desire to make the trip. We will see, but right now they’re pricing for the anticipated demand.

I live east of the path of totality so will just step outside and see what's available if the weather is good. If I was going to travel think I'd head to Padre Island and get some fishing in.

Going to Elko.

I'm boycotting TX.

Are you going to an event or just going to find a viewing spot on your own?

I plan to drive to anywhere along the eclipse path that’s least likely to be cloudy. So anywhere from Texas to New York. I’d prefer Dallas because I have a good friend who lives there. But I’ll go anywhere

Me too more or less, and that will stay the case if the air prices stay north of $400 for a one night round trip. DAL was the most convenient place to go and only take one day off work for the 5 minute experience.

The viewing spot will be right outside of the hotel - no intention to drive anywhere specifically for that - Elko is right in the middle and the event should last 2 minutes.

Aaand just got voicemail from the hotel saying that they will be closed for renovations and will cancel my reservation but offered to rebook me to a hotel next to them.

I did the one in 2012 that had a similar path that crossed the Grand Canyon. Thst one was near sunset.

this one it’s more mid day. It will be higher up in the horizon. The western area will be better visually.

this crosses central oregon, northern Nevada thrn over Capitol reef national park and near monument valley to Albuquerque to San Antonio to Corpus Christi

iwill be somewhere along 2024 total. My home town is buffalo, ny which is on the peak totality line. I’ve booked secondary location in dallas area

I'm traveling to SLC for the week and plan to view the eclipse from Capitol Reef NP (and also visit Arches and Canyonlands while we're there).

I live in Michigan, so we're about an hour and a half drive from the path of totality in 2024, though April isn't typically a great month for weather here.

The parks will be packed with people and may not even be open.

Yeah, I'm watching the political situation, but if they aren't, we'll come up with an alternative. At least we've got accommodations; everything that weekend sold out pretty early.

That would be great to see it. I just don't know if my friends can make it.

If it's cool, get something warm to wear. During an eclipse in 2017 (in summer), it got rather cool.

Got a hotel room booked in Niagara Falls and Dallas for April. Not sure which one we would go to yet. We have more family near Niagara Falls who would daytrip to see us and the eclipse but Canadian Aprils are notoriously wet and cold.
