Any of you planning on seeing the total solar eclipse on April 8th?
HokieSignGuy • 03/07/24 02:17 PM ET
Likely going toward Lexington / Louisville and driving
Victor Tango • 03/08/24 11:00 AM ET
Yes and Yes.
HokieJay • 03/08/24 08:45 AM ET
I'm going. The next one in the continental us is not for another 20 years

I'm going. The next one in the continental US is 20 years from now.

We are near the edge of the path

Someone mentioned if the women play in Albany stay a day and you’ll see it**
`lag • 03/07/24 05:06 PM ET
Cleveland - the NCG is on 4/7**
MAHokie69 • 03/08/24 09:00 AM ET
I think it passes north of Albany.**
ColoVT82 • 03/07/24 05:44 PM ET
I witnessed it last time in Greenville
GreenvilleVT • 03/07/24 04:31 PM ET
Thinking of driving up to northern NH to see it
MAHokie69 • 03/07/24 04:00 PM ET
I should have close to 90% and that is better than my grades- all good**
turkeywinghokie • 03/07/24 03:24 PM ET
if you're that close, easy drive to totality, otherwise it is like ...

AbsolutVT03 • 03/07/24 05:27 PM ET
yes, even 99% coverage is too bright to experience the craziness
HokieSignGuy • 03/07/24 04:27 PM ET
PRECISELY , absolutely MUST be inside the path**
astrohokie • 03/07/24 04:33 PM ET
I've thought about it but just not sure I want to make the drive. Either we
AbsolutVT03 • 03/07/24 03:14 PM ET
It’s worth it. **
GreenvilleVT • 03/07/24 04:33 PM ET
well, it will be the drive part. Any hotels in the path are either booked
HokieSignGuy • 03/07/24 04:26 PM ET
Yeah I've looked a little bit. Was thinking more like staying somewhere
AbsolutVT03 • 03/07/24 05:30 PM ET
I am driving to Akron from nova with the family. i hope the weather is good**
KfgsHokie • 03/07/24 03:09 PM ET
I remember 1970ish my old man taking us up to Cape Cod to watch eclipsed.
Stork • 03/07/24 03:06 PM ET
Absolutely, somewhere just W of Evansville Ind.**
astrohokie • 03/07/24 02:59 PM ET
won't it be too dark?**
bigbadbird • 03/07/24 02:59 PM ET
The eclipse of August 21, 2017. The centerline passed about 5 km....
Spud • 03/07/24 02:58 PM ET
ya, a #14 or darker for partial phase, iirc**
astrohokie • 03/07/24 04:50 PM ET
I saw 100% in 2017- it’s very humbling.
BobG • 03/07/24 02:54 PM ET
Mom and dad are. They're taking the RV to Indiana (I think).
HokieGator • 03/07/24 02:26 PM ET
Well, we just took that day off and I'll drive home into the night.
HokieSignGuy • 03/07/24 02:28 PM ET
6 hours both ways or round trip? Where are you planning on viewing it at?**
AbsolutVT03 • 03/07/24 05:31 PM ET
6 hours one-way. I think we will try to get to Marion, OH...
HokieSignGuy • 03/08/24 09:15 AM ET
Did your dad's Ram ever get all sorted out?
MP4VT2004 • 03/07/24 02:28 PM ET
It got fixed. Took about 2 weeks in the shop but it's good to go.
HokieGator • 03/07/24 06:40 PM ET
10-4, good to hear. I am a bit envious of that lifestyle.
MP4VT2004 • 03/07/24 07:12 PM ET
On my deathbed, I will receive total consciousness, so I've got that goin
RhinoVT • 03/07/24 02:21 PM ET
Well, think about your physical form on this plane of existence.... **
HokieSignGuy • 03/07/24 02:24 PM ET
Thought about it, but eventually decided against it.
EDGEMAN • 03/07/24 02:18 PM ET
Wrong answer.**
BobG • 03/07/24 02:54 PM ET
That's what my dad said, but he didn't even think about it.
HokieSignGuy • 03/07/24 02:27 PM ET
I thought long and hard about traveling to see it.
EDGEMAN • 03/07/24 02:37 PM ET
yeah, that's a bit of a haul. One will be closer to you in 2045.**
