I don’t wanna blow up my spot on these dead gay comedy forums, but the closest place I can witness totality is northwestern Pennsylvania, so I was planning to camp in Allegheny national forest (free backcountry camping ftw) for a night or two and then skip over to somewhere (not sure yet) within the path of totality Monday. I know the cloud cover will be a coin toss, but it’s my only option. Great idea? Terrible idea?

Ended up in Allegheny National Forest, found a decent little backcountry campsite within the path of totality about a half mile south of the PA/NY border along a deserted part of the North Country Scenic Trail. Judging by the fire pit we were the first guests of the season. Even when all the hotels are booked, National forest campers stay winning. THEY CAN’T STOP YOU FROM USING THIS ONE FREE TRICK. Got overcast overnight and started raining as we were packing out. Hopped over to Willow Bay boat ramp and napped under the clouds expecting the whole event to be a snooze fest. Woke up half an hour before totality to dozens of tailgaters cheering because the sun peeked out for a second. The clouds parted at pretty much the exact moment for totality, it couldn’t have been timed better. Everyone went nuts. I peeked at the corona for a second and honestly I was not prepared for how that poo poo looked in person. Sort of terrifying in a way. As such the gods have signaled that America can stop her blood sacrifices. Sure, the guys who catch the severed heads at the base of the pyramid will be out of work. But you know, you have to break a few eggs, etc. The backcountry camping thing was the absolute perfect way to lead up to something like this. Really made it seem like and adventure. kreeningsons fucked around with this message at 00:16 on Apr 11, 2024 |

Personally I thought it was metal when an unfailing fixture of the sky, singular giver of life and center of our celestial order suddenly became a impossibly deep black mass with a huge menacing corona (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST) kreeningsons fucked around with this message at 20:51 on Apr 11, 2024 |
