Thanks for the update. My son lives in Austin so may be a good excuse for a visit.

Thanks for the heads up. We were on the beach in Cape Cod during the last eclipse and it was absolutely amazing. The coolest part was not watching the eclipse, but observing the wildlife going bonkers. Thousands of fish jumping out of the water, beaching themselves. Hugh flocks of birds, many species rarely seen, erratically flying about. Whales rolling about on the surface of the water shooting blasts of water from their blow holes. Something about the eclipse had to be the cause of that, it could not have been a coincidence?

I was in Missouri at that time, all birds were going to roost. Crickets started? Squirrels ran for there dens.

I really liked Austin, Texas when I drove through in 1996 and would not mind visiting again in 2024.

Also been to Austin, Nevada many times.

There will be one in Florida in 2045, I don’t think I’ll see it?

Sounds neat, but odds are good, I’ll forget it will be occurring. : -(

We took our motorhome to Casper Wyoming for the total eclipse in 2017 and it was an amazing experience. I looked up the next one immediately after that and discovered that an RV resort we've stayed at in Kerrville Texas, a little town in the Hill Country northwest of San Antonio, is almost dead-center on the line of totality in 2024. I'm on a notification list for when they open up reservations. Fingers crossed.

Early April can be rainy and cloudy in the US, but it's one of the best times of the year to be in Texas anyway, so we plan to make the trip regardless of how my reservation plan works out.
