I was in Jackson for the 2017 one. Spent the previous night in Blackfoot, Idaho and drove in. I’ve been to Jackson a few times and that was the most traffic I’ve ever seen there. I think we left Idaho at like 5 AM and finally found a spot to park maybe an hour before the eclipse. Probably going to try Texas this time maybe Dallas, no idea where to park though. Hope I don’t end up in a Walmart parking lot, but no matter where I end up it won't match the setting in Jackson.

Currently sitting on the side of a road in utah looking at the sun. About 20% in shadow now, phone pics suck so no pics till I can pull them off my dslr.

Just some wispy clouds here. Almost there, you can see it kinda in the lens reflection in this pic

e2: best I could get with my phone through eclipse glasses



Not as fun as a total eclipse, stayed a lot brighter than I was expecting and no cool wavy snake shadows on the ground.

Weird spikes radiating during annularity, maybe just a phone lens thing?

Some wispy clouds in Conway, AR. Can already see a sliver missing from the sun.
