Anybody planning on traveling to see it?

Picture my sister took. Nothing fancy, just her cell phone camera

Our girls were out and got super quiet and barely moved. It was eerily quiet here, we were in totality for a little over 3 minutes. Everyone was super confused. Even nightly frogs were chirping lol

That was very cool to see. Stayed home. Not on path of totality but got close to 90%. It got cold but not very dark.
My friends and I had fun hanging out and eating my eclipse pie.
Forecast was for full cloud cover but actually it was clear for much of the time.
I don’t have a fancy camera but got a couple of pictures to remember the event.
My chickens could not have been less interested - they stayed outside foraging the entire time.

The sky cleared just in time for totality! Absolutely amazing experience!

My roosters are now going off

The next eclipse is in 2045, but we won't have one again until 2078 and 2099!

I'll be an old geezer!!

We are in the totality for the 2045. I’m going to charge $500 (adjusted for inflation) for a 5’ x 5’ spot on my land. If you are a member in good standing with BYC I will give you a 10% discount and 6 pack or a couple miniatures of your choice.

No refunds for

Rojo, our rooster, gathered up his girls and herded them up close to the coop but they did not go in. They just kind of hunkered down close to the run and seemed ... puzzled and a bit stressed. Confused, I guess. I imagined them thinking, How can it be bedtime, we have not had our bedtime snack yet? It was eerily quiet as the day birds stopped singing and calling, then the evening birds started their songs. My son thought it was really cool and impressive. I'm so glad he enjoyed it. We all did!

Here's what we got for maximum. it's a little fizzy due to cloud cover.

We drove down to Muncie and saw the totality. Fantastic! Just stopped in a store parking lot, next to two other cars, one with a couple from West Virginia, who drove to Indiana for the eclipse. Our trip was short in comparison, and it is so different from the partial eclipse we saw in 2017.
No pictures, just watched. So many excellent photos out there, didn't need ours.

Various stages.

Tons of cloud cover, no tripod, and a crappy camera so sorry for the quality.
