Heading to the next eclipse,

Texas in 2024.  Who's up for a road trip!

I'll be there.

[Cargi Goes]

We were headed to the airport at McBride, MO, which was right underneath the path, and in the

lowland next to the Mississippi river.

 

But after reading about all the traffic, we opted to go north of Fredrickstown, out in the country.

Found a narrow two lane road north, then east to Womack. Never did find Womack. But we did

end up at an old country church with perfect parking and position, just east of Womack,

as we later found out with Google maps assistance...

 

I won't post any as you have already some fine examples of what we got:  In addition to the eclipse

itself, we got the pink flares and the wedding ring...

 

Had a wonderful time camping out in our Nissan Cargo van... Cargi !    :)

 

Oh, and yes we really avoided the traffic. So glad we didn't go any further east.   ;)

Super neat. This is the eclipse that started our van adventures...we flew to Denver and rented a transit high top from enterprise truck division...for whatever reason rental cars in CO don't charge mileage.  Hotels were super hard to come by/expensive, and we didn't want to get stuffed by bad weather.  It was an absolutely wonderful trip on which we proceeded to put just under 1900 miles on that van between CO, WY and SD, it was a great time, and the result is that now we are here, with you guys.  See you in '24!
