Part of the reason I didn't bust my balls is because 2024 isn't too far away, and neither is Buffalo. I'll deal with it then.

I wouldn't imagine too many! Grandpa taught in Pinedale so I know how remote you are.

My hometown in Nebraska was directly in the path but the death of a grandparent scuttled my plans to be there. Last one on either side trumped it but just barely.

jar155 totally agree with your comments. This is a must see bucket list item.

One of the things that is not emphasized enough is: When the sun is eclipsed at 50%, the sun looks like it normally does when full and you have to view with glasses.
At 90% the sun looks the same, at 99% the sun still looks like it does at high noon. And then, in an "instant", the sky goes dark and you see a big black hole in the sky with white shimmering all around as you view without glasses. Truly spectacular. I can understand why some people travel around the globe to see totality.
I've been reading about 2024. They say cloud coverage during early April is more than likely 50%, and snow could happen at that time of the year in upstate NY,VT, NH,MA. Looks like Texas is the place to go.
