Got it done. A plan that really started 8 years ago when I realized that my cousin's property near Goreville, Illinois was in the crossroads of the 2017 and 2024 eclipses. We were able to see both eclipses in full without getting clouded out. Luck broke our way, along with many, many locations in the United States. I can't believe that so many places got a clear eclipse. The shot down below is my last shot of the eclipse at around 99% eclipsed as the moon starts to move back out of the way. The last shot is our eclipse group enjoying the hospitality of Bob and Karen Sawyer. We got a last minute visit of James Viola and wife, who Stephanie and I met in our 2009 and two of their friends. Mike Haberer also joined at the last minute. What fun to see this event with friends and family.
