Coming up in another week there is a big total solar eclipse crossing the USA. Many people are planning to travel to see it, ourselves included. We have not made any firm plans, since we can travel by air and therefore attempt to chase the good weather. Our shortest path puts us in Indiana or Ohio. Are there any other Bearhawk folks with eclipse plans?

Because the QB kit is not ready to fly, we are planing to drive to southern IL. There are many small airports in small communities in IL and IN in the path of the eclipse that will not have the crowds and headaches of Carbondale and other better known places. They would also have less light pollution. Many of them have wonderful local dinners to get a bite to eat. We are hoping it will not be overcast.

Living here in Ohio, I will certainly experience it, and will only have to travel a short distance to be right in the center of the path. But Roger's concern is a valid one: this time of year, there's at least an even chance of overcast. Still, it will become night in the middle of the afternoon, even if the sun is obscured by clouds.Comment

Me too! We want to stay out of the extreme NE if at all possible, it is going to be far more populous and crowded up there I'm afraid.Comment

Greenville is high on my list of places to consider. Ragmuff had been one of my top choices, but I took the skis off and they've been saying something about a bit of snow...Originally posted by DBeaulieu View PostComment
