The plan is simple. We have set aside three days to drive to Odessa, Texas, which is in the middle of the Annular Eclipse track, where the weather is set to be clear and cold. We’ll watch the eclipse and then spend two or three days driving home.
Driving out, we’ve set the following rules:
- No interstates once we are out of Missouri.
- No chain restaurants.
We have no pre-booked accommodation — except for one night, Friday, 13, October, in Odessa. The Eclipse starts shortly after 10 am on Saturday, October 14. It’ll be my third eclipse — and first annular. It’ll be Ginger’s second eclipse, and first annular also.
Unfortunately, my Photo-Mojo has departed, and doesn’t look like it’ll be returning anytime soon.
