Now that all the excitement of today is over, start making your reservations for April 8, 2024. Del Rio, Uvalde, Kerrville, Killeen, Waxahachie, Sulphur Springs. How cool will it be to lay down on Enchanted Rock outside of Fredricksburg and watch the eclipse? The moon is supposed to be closer to the earth than today which means the eclipse will last longer. If I live long enough to see it, it will be the last one in my lifetime. Only a 3 hour drive for me.

I'm thinking our place on Lake Limestone will be a perfect spot for this! Looks like it'll be juuuust on the Southern limit of the total eclipse.

Now to hoard glasses so the next time I can sell them for a profit to all the folks who didn't plan ahead.

The first place that eclipse enters the United States will be in my hometown of Del Rio. I plan on sittin in my parents backyard and getting wasted while watching it.

Tried to watch it today but the cloud cover was too thick in Loving County.

That's a Monday. I'll make it a 3-day weekend and chill at the deer lease outside Fredericksburg.

The eclipse would have to be accompanied with gold coins falling from the sky before I'd spend the day in Killeen. I live 15 min away and avoid that place like the plague.

I'll try to remember this in 7 years and come buy some! Assuming my brother still lives in NB his house is just outside the southern edge of totality. We'll probably base there and head toward Kerrville.

Yep, I had already told my wife a few days ago to plan on being somewhere in central Texas on that date. I like your idea of Enchanted Rock. I need to start making a list of RV parks / State parks in the area.

Be prepared to change locations based in the weather. I changed plans yesterday because my original spot looked like it was going to be cloudy. Be flexible. You DO NOT want to miss totality.

While the top of enchanted rock sounds awesome, probably not the best spot. You'll want some place with some shade. You'll be sitting in the direct sun for 5-6 hours, probably more there. A shade tree that you can under is nice. No way I would've last all day yesterday in the direct sun for that long.

Might not be too bad as it's in early April.

Yeah all I was seeing was how much of a nightmare Oregon was with all the people coming into the state for this eclipse.
