Subject:      Great American Eclipse, Monday April-8-2024, mid day in Texas

The Total Solar Eclipse in Madras Oregon was the fastest most interesting 3 minutes of my life.   Completely weird and completely worth it.  Spooky.


Vanagon camped at a nice lady’s farm she set up for about 50 people on top of a rounded hill.


Before and after, a white plate on the shade side of a bush will show crescents made by the pin holes in the bush. We set up a telescope to project the crescent onto people’s shirts and took lots pictures on their cameras.


Live in CA, but grew up in Austin so have friends who want to do it on April 8, 2024.  Enchanted Rock, Guadalupe Bend State Park, and Canyon of the Eagles look right on the track.  The closer to the track center, the better.


If someone comes up with a good campground, would be fun to hang out Sunday to Tuesday.
