Thanks Jeff! So it will just be me and my 12 year old daughter - will be renting a car from DFW and should be mostly mobile around TX. We arrive the Thurs before, stay the weekend in Dallas, was then planning on stopping through Waco where I was born to revisit my oldest roots, and then head down to Austin Sun night to stay by my Aunt. In the morning, the hope is that we then all can head a bit west together toward a location more ideal within the path of totality. But now...
I don't know what to do. I have a brother in law who owns a lake house in the Adirondack mountains by Tupper Lake up in north NY, which is currently in a location that seems most ideal for sun and in the path of totality. Should I reroute everything and go up there? Should I miss out on seeing my home town, visiting family that I am closer to - all to head north for a solar eclipse? Or maybe there will be SOME part of TX somewhere along the totality line that will have sun and I'll somehow just chase that? Gah, the whole thing is maddening right now - and the only comfort I can take is that we are still a ways out and things can change. What would any of you say regarding the chances for the chances for changes at this point? Help a flustered guy out here lol
