LOL - my eclipse book is so old it doesn't go out that far! 2024 in the Adirondacks, for sure.

My first eclipses were in New England, '59 and '63; Mexico was my first long-distance "chase".

In 1970, I was stationed at Eglin AFB outside of Fort Walton Beach, (coincidentally) Florida. A buddy and I drove over near Jax to get into the totality track. It was overcast from horizon to horizon. We never got a glimpse of the disk.

On the other hand, the darkening special effect was pretty impressive, even though there was still some light leaking in from the cloud cover that was outside the umbra.

If I'm still moving in 2017, I could see a trip to Oregon. I think I'll skip the one in Svalbard.

Saw that one from Teotihuacan. Temple of the Sun and Moon just seemed like the right place for it.

Nice place to make, but I wouldn't want to live there.
