    All I want to get is a few shots of the 360 sunrise/sunset.....and a selfie with the black hole in the sky behind me.....other than that I will just take it in.....just finished packing....not checking baggage....I have downloaded detailed eclipse state maps and I downloaded the whole plains/upper Midwest section of the country to my iPad that I can use offline.....Google Maps.....it behaves just like it was online....I've packed a small umbrella for shade on the ground....a towel....lol

    Really nervous about traffic in and out of these little 2,600 pop towns in NE.....anywhere really in the path.....probably will leave at like 2am or 3am from Omaha....love spending $130 for 6 hrs sleep lol
  11. ice1972
    I go between second guessing my target and accepting that I should just enjoy the whole trip and the eclipse whatever the conditions....it's the only eclipse you got

    So of AMWX members will I be the furthest west? First to put eyes on this beauty?
  13. ice1972
    Oh wait I got the shading backwards.....IDK....NE down into MO looks fine.....it doesn't have to be 100% clear.....you just need 2.5 min of clear.....the sun is like 0.02% of the sky.....final assessment SundH night....good luck everybody
  14. ice1972
    Also the almost new moon is passing by the sun now .....I tried to find the sliver by couldnt
  15. ice1972
    Anybody believe that's what it's gonna be like in Casper? Lol.....I hate that cloud cover map
  16. ice1972
    Flight leaves early tomorrow out of Logan.....pick up car at MSN then drive to Omaha.....will assess forecast early Monday morning it target is still central NE NW of Grand Island......I hope that's NW enough - I don't want to keep going west.....puts me further from hotel room in Iowa City.....lol these travel plans....
  17. ice1972
    Ya good luck man...you going towards De Soto? Right on center line.....if you have to bail on that would you try to blow through IL and set up in KY? I just think the southern IL situation is gonna be crazy....good luck
  18. ice1972
    Ya.....cancelled hotels in Quincy IL and Louisville KY.....Missouri looked awful and I really didn't want to contend with southeast traffic.....I've got an ambitious/aggressive schedule that has fail written all over it but it won't be dull and will be an all time great tale.....wishing everybody the best of luck and looking forward to all the posts.....I'll post to if I have cell in BF Nebraska....lol
  19. ice1972
    Glad I didn't pick there.....lol..... https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.businessinsider.com/solar-eclipse-car-traffic-travel-delay-maps-2017-8

    Final preps under way.....leave for Tewksbury MA tomorrow afternoon to stay with sister and she'll take me in to Logan early Sunday......nervous AF
  21. ice1972
    I also have these maps downloaded and accessible without internet.....
  22. ice1972
    That is tremendous.....I put Google maps on my iPad and am downloading maps - actually areas I window out - for use without internet/cell service.....supposedly it behaves just like google maps - that is you can zoom in and out and it will adjust the detail like normal.....I was nervous to be in BF Nebraska and not have cell
  23. ice1972
    Also I think it is the point of max eclipse or whatever.....past that point totality gets shorter as it moves east
  24. ice1972
    IDK marginally better......I guess......hoping
  25. ice1972
    With 1million of your closest friends.....lolz.....meanwhile P&C forecast for NE got better
