Is there absolutely any chance at this point (even a year out) of getting a spot at one of the national parks, like Cuyahoga Valley? Or is that probably going to result in experiencing the eclipse stuck in traffic waiting to get into the park?

Does anyone know of any state parks or campgrounds that may be in that general vicinity that wouldn't be too bad?

I’d ideally like to try to do something that isn’t just “drive 10 hours to the parking lot of a motel that’s in bumfuck nowhere but in the totality!” but also maybe the answer is "gently caress it thats what I do"

In 2017 I scouted our spot on google maps (cross referenced with BLM land maps, but that part isn't really applicable for this one as there's virtually no BLM land east of the Great Plains).

You might start by checking for National Forest land within the path (green here) there is definitely some in AR/MO/IL:



My friend pointed out that maybe instead of Illinois and Ohio, we looked northeast, which is about the same drive, to like Vermont and Upstate New York, which has infinitely more protected land and also isn't Ohio, so I think I answered my own question there
