I was so excited to see Dallas is in the path for the next one - 30 minute drive for us! ---

Yeah - I would like to see a total with the next one. I think worth the planning and drive. It was pretty cool seeing the partial eclipse today. ---

This is definitely a bucket list item for me. I would like to travel to the path of totality for the next one. Something I’ll definitely put on my calendar so I can plan for it! ---

We drove 10 hours to totality in a bight of the Ohio River in Kentucky. We ended up at the top of a 600 ft bluff, watching 2 min 40 seconds of totality. It was an extraordinary moment! ![IMG_20170821_124251](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/fudiabetes/original/2X/0/07b502617bbec060f03ce9bf47f15c8f23238551.jpg) At the bluff ![IMG_20170821_131503](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/fudiabetes/original/2X/4/45526f1485cd6503f437646e06a34b939f60442e.jpg) Crescent suns through a colander, projected on a sheet ![IMG_20170821_131959](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/fudiabetes/original/2X/9/9793007b8526d525d08f1c27d09004ec112df3fe.jpg) Right before totality ![IMG_20170821_132340](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/fudiabetes/original/2X/6/6ef948b54234180d71f24c2b3931813d17673b38.jpg) At totality We just got home a few minutes ago [4:00AM} – long drive back. What a day this was. ---

We had perfect viewing conditions here in eastern Idaho and watched from the deck with adult beverages to hand! 🍾🍺🍷 ---

I agree - all of you bragging about being under totality need to post some pictures!!! Here’s a nom-exciting picture of where I was, with the sun 86% blocked. (It’s actually amazing to me that the sun is so bright you can’t see the moon even when it’s 86% blocked. But one cool thing about this picture is if you look at the little lens flare, it does show the sun with the shape of the moon blocking it.) ![IMG_0302](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/fudiabetes/original/2X/b/b5e3891fe79a084074632087fdf1d5018ea9e9ea.JPG) [Previous page](https://forum.fudiabetes.org/t/eclipse/1665.md?page=1)
