I’m hoping to travel to Southern Illinois for the eclipse next year.
I would like to see at least one in my lifetime. 🔭

It is definitely worth the effort. I saw one a few years ago and was dumfounded at the beauty and grand change in the sky. Don’t miss it, get to it if you can. It is a most awe-inspiring experience.

Make sure you have an escape route figured out and take it early enough. We were on the farm in Nebraska almost in the middle of the path of totality. It clouded over and by the time we figured out that we should have jumped in the car and drive a couple miles down the road it was too late. A friend who went to Carbondale, Il had the same thing happen.
