When we saw the last one, we determined on the drive home we would see this one.
That one, we did as a day trip and only went about 175 miles one way. This one involved two hotel nights and about 450 miles one way. We made our hotel reservations a year in advance, as soon as you can make a reservation in normal commerce.
Worth it.
That’s what we both said after this one. We were extremely lucky. It was right over our own house. We went next door to the neighbor’s driveway because they have fewer trees and had already invited some in their family to visit for the day. Furthest away was people from 2 hours away. Lots of back roads where we live, too. It was fun to watch it with a small group of people, maybe 10 or 12 of us, rather than by ourselves.
We were very moved. I hope we live long enough to see another one, but if not, this will suffice. We won’t ever forget it.
