If you check out this link you can see the path that it takes across North America. It also has a listing of some towns to consider for this adventure.

What I need help with is figuring out the place with the best odds of clear skies.
My initial thought was eastern Canada - Kingston or Montreal area - but I’m worried about cloudy skies. East Texas seems doable? Maybe Mexico?
Anybody else planning on this trip?
Ever seen an eclipse?
Edit: Forgot to add the date - April 8, 2024 |
I saw an eclipse while working for a UK based self driving camping outfit in France in 1999. The owner of the campsite I was at was bat$#!% crazy. She believed wholeheartedly that the world was going to end with the eclipse so she had her whole family over. She was crying and wailing so loud you could hear it everywhere and then when it was over she was hugging her family and running around screaming. The eclipse was cool, but that nonsense is what sticks out most in my mind
