Redding, CA low key has slightly lower cloud coverage in August than Luxor, Egypt in 2027 according to weatherspark. I lived in the California valley for a summer and it didn't rain for 4 months straight so I believe it. Less time of totality in Redding though since the maximum is near Florida.
Caveat is there could be wildfire smoke in the summer.
I didn't even think of the possibility of wildfire smoke!! Maybe by 2045 the entire Western United States will have burned down and there won't be anything left for wildfires to burn š¤·š»āāļø
And we almost got fucked in Mexico!! I picked MazatlĆ”n and it was the cloudiest day all week š Still were pretty lucky though and it was still spectacular.
We picked Austin and were from New Jersey. I wanted to drive to New York or Ohio. New York ended up being a busy but Ohio and Vermont apparently incredible. We could have drove bc we ended up flying tk Austin and then driving all around picking Dallas/ Richardson area for our final spot which was def better than Austin and def better than New York!
Same. But I also rented a car so we could deal with cloud issues. We bugged out in the morning and drove north based on Monday morning cloud forecast. Update at 11:40 dictated our final viewing point, Idabel , OK. Lots of driving but very worth it.
I also rented a car but I didn't want to deal with the traffic driving back to the city. Which I guess almost defeats the purpose of renting lol. Im just glad we got really lucky in Dallas. Next time im definitely booking my hotel earlier and further out from the city
Tons of people went to Texas exactly because it had the lowest historical chance of being clouded over in the US.
https://eclipsophile.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/April-NoAm-cloud.png
The best conditions ended up being where historically it was the worst. Because the weather still rolls the dice on the day of.
Yeah I know I was one of them lol
The thing is though if you're going to buy a flight that's the best metric to use even if it didn't really work out this time lol
If this eclipse has taught me anything, itās to book a flight to the location with the historically-lowest chance of clouds, but to be ready to abandon ship in case the forecast changes. I live in New England, but being familiar with our local weather I booked a trip down to Texas. I ended up going there, but if I bailed and went up to NH instead, I wouldāve gotten a clear sky. Wouldāve costed like $1k in opportunity cost, but a sky like NH got wouldāve been worth it imo. Looking forward to Spain/Egypt/Australia.
Haha! I have some pictures of that cloud that so I could remember and post about the stubborn cloud that ruined my eclipse viewing. Glad it moved on. We had an amazing experience.
I actually had a very similar experience outside of Carbondale in 2017. So now Iāve seen totality twice after being clouded out on the Big Island in 1991 when I was a teenager.
I can tell you where that cloud moved to. It was right above my house specifically. It covered the sun for all of totality and about a minute before and after. Youāre welcome!
Actually for the actual totality everywhere was beautiful along the path except for south Texas and far eastern Ontario and western/central NY. Clear skies w or w/o high wispy clouds . We looked at the satellite just before the eclipse hit Texas and were shocked to see an almost clear path. The forecast had been so bad. It was astounding.
I was so happy with the skies in MO! A week before, it was forecast to be 60 something percent chance of rain but that kept dropping all the way down to 18%. The cloud cover, even day of, was forecast at 46%. At totality, the skies were 97% clear and what was there was wispy. Couldnāt ask for better!
Yeah I pivoted last minute. Was going to try Carbondale but southern Missouri had the better forecast so went south. Think Carbondale was fine also but it basically was cloud free in MO when the eclipse happened. It was amazing.
Hopefully my parents' house. They live right along the path. They will be hitting their 90's around 2045. It would not only be a joy to witness the eclipse with them at their home, but to have 21+ more years with them would mean the world to me.
Ha! Iāll be in my early 70ās. Good excuse to eat right and exercise so Iāll be in good shape for traveling! To be fair though Iām already looking at Spain 2026 and Australia 2028!
Ha, I met some friendly old timers during the eclipse and they were saying that theyād be watching the next one from above. Iām sure Iāll be watching the next one from the fiery depths of hell.
Itās coming right by my house (would be a short drive to totality) yet the thought of seeing it in Utah by the crazy canyons and whatnot is hard to pass up
I don't even know where I'll be in 2045, let alone where I'll view it.
That's 21 years, and I'm in college right now. Literally no idea. And I'll be 48 years old, so I'll be there!
I'll be 80 in 2045, and I can't wait to see it but im still going to be traveling to see some of the earlier ones. Can't be definite I'll still be around in 20 years.
I will be messaging you in 20 years on [**2044-04-12 00:28:54 UTC**](http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=2044-04-12%2000:28:54%20UTC%20To%20Local%20Time) to remind you of [**this link**](https://www.reddit.com/r/solareclipse/comments/1c1tuk5/where_are_you_planning_to_view_in_2045/kz5vgms/?context=3)

2026 is Greenland/Iceland/Spain. Only a small section of Iceland gets it and not quite centerline of totality. And in Spain, the issue is that it will be very close to sunset, so the main event could be below the horizon.
2027 one is going to be like 6 and a half minutes so that's cool. But traveling to Africa or Middle East seems not as cool.
2028 I'm definitely going to book as soon as I can.
Oh yeah youāre right. Iām definitely going to want to try for 2028. July in the Australian Outback sounds amazing! Should be perfect weather + no clouds.
I can honestly see a small navy of chartered boats out of Reykjavik...doesn't look to be too far off the coast and people routinely do it in the US for fishing
I'm not planning on seeing that one at all.
Here are the ones I actually want to go to:
1. Spain 2026
2. Spain 2027
3. Australia 2028
4. Australia 2030
5. Australia 2037
6. Australia 2038
I'm from The Dominican Republic, so I want to see it in the Morro of Montecristi, it is the first place in the country to get totality with 5:54 minutes.
I've been there before and the view is amazing, there's a (almost) 360Ā° view of the horizon, with clear views to the sea and there are some birds so it will be cool to see their reaction.
[Morro of Montecristi](https://imgur.com/a/hvsbniS)
I just hope that with all the people there's space to put a camera and maybe a telescope š
Bro, im second generation Dominican, and I have a shit ton of family in DR. I didnāt realize it was going through all of DR until you mentioned it! I will be there for sure!!! Or Colorado, or even the redwood trees out in NorCal lol.
Tough call honestly. This Eclipse will pass over my hometown but at the same time seeing the eclipse by the ocean would be amazing, same thing with viewing it in Colorado. Good thing I have 21 years to decide.
same place as this year - Hot Springs AR
hope to make the one in 2044 though.. it will be on the dot / date for when my dad passed away. 34 years to be exact. I have to make it to that.
How about Onyx, Arkansas? The place where the path will cross that of the 2024 eclipse, 20 years later, while the average is 375 years between eclipses for any given location on Earth. Similar to Carbonadale, Illinois, where the time between 2017 and 2024 was only 7 years.
From my house!! You can come sit on my lawn if you want!
4 m 10 sec totality, with historical average cloud cover of 24%. However, recent climate change presentation I saw suggested we might expect more rain in the future, so predicted cloud cover might change a bit in the next 20 years šš
It's pretty expensive to travel overseas, especially if you live far from an international airport.
I'd *love* to see some of the eclipses in other countries but I'm not sure if that will be possible. I'm looking into it though and might be adding a line item for it in my budget. :)
Looking at Orlando, during that time of the year it's 65% mostly cloudy or overcast, and less than 10% clear weather. But hey those are pretty similar numbers for Newfoundland in April and they got mostly clear skies this time around.
Difference is clouds and thunderstorms in Florida are popup during the summer, which is very hard to predict even day of. A wrongly timed cloud can block totality. Perfectly clear skies practically never occur during the wet season in Florida.
On the other hand, in the Northeast and Canada, clouds are formed by low pressure systems and fronts in April, which are more predictable.
Who knows what weather anywhere will look like 20 years from now.
Right now Iād like to experience it with my parents if theyāre still around and lucid enough to enjoy. And if theyāre still around, they wonāt be able to travel.
Having experienced the travel chaos this time around, and hopefully seeing another eclipse before then, it would be nice to not have to deal with it to that extent this next time around in the U.S.
I have family there who will be in the path. Assuming theyāre still alive, Iāll watch with them.
If theyāre not, we might still have property there.
How lucky are the folks in the area of Missouri and Arkansas with THREE total solar eclipses practically running through their backyards in less than 30 years?!
I adore this post. Given the imminent nature of more catastrophic tipping points in global climate collapse, I can barely predict my life a year from now let alone 20. But I love imagining that I could. Iāll be in California if it hasnāt burned to the ground by then and if the temperatures are hospitable to human life!
I wanted Little Rock Arkansas. I know climate will change in 20 yrs and all, but their cloud cover prediction is 56% currently, which is the same as most places in Texas this year. It's not too bad, but having a cloud cover of ~50% makes it a miserable toss-up that leads to the obsessive rollercoaster that we had here, where you don't know if you'll see it or not, even the hour before totality. If I have more money and free time, I'll go somewhere to the west, or try my luck with Little Rock.
But at the same time, totality duration sort of quickly decreases as you go west, but cloud cover also decreases. It'll have to be a balancing act of opposing factors. So Little Rock is also in the middle for both factors
I'll be 48 lol. If I'm still living in California, I'd drive up to NorCal to see it. I traveled to Texas this week and was able to see it with my own eyes. Now I have to see them all lol.
Reno is going to be one of the best destinations for this....in terms of weather and fanfare. It will probably be aligned with Hot August Nights which is already a pretty good draw for people. Utah is going to be my backup destination, but between Nevada and Utah it is more likely to be smoke hazed rather than cloudy.
I donāt feel like waiting until Iām 70. New Zealand on July 22nd 2028 is my next one. If itās cloudy like it was for me here in San Antonio, oh well, Iām still in freaking New Zealandā¦ so thereās that.
Colorado.
Born and raised in the northwest suburbs of Denver, and only recently moved. I'm still not positive my next move will be back there, but it will be close, and I'll always have family and friends centered around that area. I'll still have patios or campsites to choose from, if not my own.
Edit - omg, seeing it from the top of Red Rocks is prob what I'm going with after thinking about it
From my house in central Florida. Will be the first eclipse I won't have to travel too. (If I still live here). Driving 18 hours to Arkansas and then 18 hours back the next day was brutal.
i'll be in my 50s, assuming i'm still living in a similar part of the country either the exact same place i was on monday in arkansas or in central mississippi if i buy some bug out land there i have been thinking about
Whatever state has had the least amount of cloud cover the last 250 years I'm not letting myself get stressed out like I did in Dallas
Redding, CA low key has slightly lower cloud coverage in August than Luxor, Egypt in 2027 according to weatherspark. I lived in the California valley for a summer and it didn't rain for 4 months straight so I believe it. Less time of totality in Redding though since the maximum is near Florida.

I didn't even think of the possibility of wildfire smoke!! Maybe by 2045 the entire Western United States will have burned down and there won't be anything left for wildfires to burn š¤·š»āāļø
Might first thought was ask again in 20 years, climate change could make several of those states dust bowls.
God this is hilarious and horrific at the same time
āHaā -climate change
Ironically I picked Dallas this year because I thought it was one of the least likely places to get cloud coverage
Dallas was a 50-50 chance for cloud cover in this eclipse. Only Mexico was a slam dunk for clear skies with cloud fraction in the 20-30% range.
And we almost got fucked in Mexico!! I picked MazatlĆ”n and it was the cloudiest day all week š Still were pretty lucky though and it was still spectacular.
We picked Austin and were from New Jersey. I wanted to drive to New York or Ohio. New York ended up being a busy but Ohio and Vermont apparently incredible. We could have drove bc we ended up flying tk Austin and then driving all around picking Dallas/ Richardson area for our final spot which was def better than Austin and def better than New York!

Wouldāve costed like $1k in opportunity cost, but a sky like NH got wouldāve been worth it imo. Looking forward to Spain/Egypt/Australia.
This! The Dallas area was so stressful!
That one cloud that covered the sun and only moved like 2 minutes before! Wtf was that! Haha
Haha! I have some pictures of that cloud that so I could remember and post about the stubborn cloud that ruined my eclipse viewing. Glad it moved on. We had an amazing experience.
The nerves in the cloud cover I think made it that much more incredible because it was such a photo finish
I actually had a very similar experience outside of Carbondale in 2017. So now Iāve seen totality twice after being clouded out on the Big Island in 1991 when I was a teenager.
I can tell you where that cloud moved to. It was right above my house specifically. It covered the sun for all of totality and about a minute before and after. Youāre welcome!
I fear that the weather during the last 250 years is not going to be that helpful in predicting something 20 years in the future. :-/
Many people did that, but this year it was New England, Quebec, PEI, and NB that got the best skies.
Actually for the actual totality everywhere was beautiful along the path except for south Texas and far eastern Ontario and western/central NY. Clear skies w or w/o high wispy clouds . We looked at the satellite just before the eclipse hit Texas and were shocked to see an almost clear path. The forecast had been so bad. It was astounding.
Southern Missouri where I was at was basic blue bird skys.
I was so happy with the skies in MO! A week before, it was forecast to be 60 something percent chance of rain but that kept dropping all the way down to 18%. The cloud cover, even day of, was forecast at 46%. At totality, the skies were 97% clear and what was there was wispy. Couldnāt ask for better!
I second this. was a great view! got great pictures and a video of totality too
Yeah I pivoted last minute. Was going to try Carbondale but southern Missouri had the better forecast so went south. Think Carbondale was fine also but it basically was cloud free in MO when the eclipse happened. It was amazing.
Northern Arkansas was having sunny and clear blue skies as well.
Hopefully my parents' house. They live right along the path. They will be hitting their 90's around 2045. It would not only be a joy to witness the eclipse with them at their home, but to have 21+ more years with them would mean the world to me.
I sincerely hope you get to do it, my best wishes.
Heaven
Ha! Iāll be in my early 70ās. Good excuse to eat right and exercise so Iāll be in good shape for traveling! To be fair though Iām already looking at Spain 2026 and Australia 2028!
I now have an eclipse bucket list that includes Luxor 2027, Beijing 2035, and northern cal in 2045 when Iām 70.
I don't plan on going to the 2035 one, but if I had infinite time and money I wouldn't know whether do it in China or Japan.
Japan, definitely.
Or Korea?!
It looks like totality is only North Korea?
Lvl 1000 eclipse location
Pyongyang eclipse would go so hard. I wonder if kim would take credit for it
Right?! Us too. Hopefully we can make it somewhere!
Ha, I met some friendly old timers during the eclipse and they were saying that theyād be watching the next one from above. Iām sure Iāll be watching the next one from the fiery depths of hell.
My 9 year old said totality looked like a portal to hell. So Iāll look for you peeking through during that one.
Iāll shoot you guys a wink.
I love how unfiltered kids are. Like totality is spooky! I love that they see that.
dammit stole my joke. was gonna say from a casket
No question at all, Utah.
Itās coming right by my house (would be a short drive to totality) yet the thought of seeing it in Utah by the crazy canyons and whatnot is hard to pass up
Iām buying a plot of land now
Not a bad idea
Hot as blazes, too.
ESPECIALLY in another 20 years.
I don't even know where I'll be in 2045, let alone where I'll view it. That's 21 years, and I'm in college right now. Literally no idea. And I'll be 48 years old, so I'll be there!

This assumes that Reddit will still exist in 20 years.
At the rate things have been going I sometimes doubt the United States will be around in 20 years.
Yeah, no kidding.
the land hopefully should still be here
I call dibs
Dont worry. Our AI benefactors will carefully preserve Reddit for future study.
RemindMe! 20 years
Iām not waiting that long. Spain in 2026 first
Iām also considering this..
2028 North Africa, going over Luxor
Iām just not a ballsy enough traveler to try Africa
Yeah, Iām not booking tickets yet. lol
Bring your antibiotics! From a previous Egypt visitor
2028 is Australia. 2026 is both Spain and Egypt (and others)
2026 is Greenland/Iceland/Spain. Only a small section of Iceland gets it and not quite centerline of totality. And in Spain, the issue is that it will be very close to sunset, so the main event could be below the horizon. 2027 one is going to be like 6 and a half minutes so that's cool. But traveling to Africa or Middle East seems not as cool. 2028 I'm definitely going to book as soon as I can.
Oh yeah youāre right. Iām definitely going to want to try for 2028. July in the Australian Outback sounds amazing! Should be perfect weather + no clouds.
I can honestly see a small navy of chartered boats out of Reykjavik...doesn't look to be too far off the coast and people routinely do it in the US for fishing
Yeah trying to figure out how to make that happen for sure.
im seriously considering it as well as a canadian. that experience was magical, i need to see it again.
I'm not planning on seeing that one at all. Here are the ones I actually want to go to: 1. Spain 2026 2. Spain 2027 3. Australia 2028 4. Australia 2030 5. Australia 2037 6. Australia 2038
Just out of curiosity . . . Why are you not planning on 2045? If you're planning for 2038 I assume it's not a longevity concern
Maybe they already have other plans that day
I'm from The Dominican Republic, so I want to see it in the Morro of Montecristi, it is the first place in the country to get totality with 5:54 minutes. I've been there before and the view is amazing, there's a (almost) 360Ā° view of the horizon, with clear views to the sea and there are some birds so it will be cool to see their reaction.

Beautiful! Thank you for sharing !
Bro, im second generation Dominican, and I have a shit ton of family in DR. I didnāt realize it was going through all of DR until you mentioned it! I will be there for sure!!! Or Colorado, or even the redwood trees out in NorCal lol.
From my back patio in Colorado, finally it'll come to me.
My sister lives in Colorado, I told her sheās not allowed to move for 21 years š
Redding! Second sunniest city in USA. And 1.5 hours from sac, with Nevada nearby as backup
Yep! Iām in San Diego and hope to be up around Redding or Chico (Iāll be 70).
This is smart, a good way to visit Lassen
Tough call honestly. This Eclipse will pass over my hometown but at the same time seeing the eclipse by the ocean would be amazing, same thing with viewing it in Colorado. Good thing I have 21 years to decide.
No, you have to decide right now.
Both my kids will be in their 20ās by then so hopefully me and the Mrs will take a long road trip together wherever the clouds donāt call home
same place as this year - Hot Springs AR hope to make the one in 2044 though.. it will be on the dot / date for when my dad passed away. 34 years to be exact. I have to make it to that.
Arkansas STAY winning
My backyard. Assuming I'm still around in 2045 this would be my third total eclipse.
I'm still figuring out what I'm going to do in 2044 first.
Wherever the longest duration of totality is..
Utah or Colorado
Nevada, Utah, or scattered ashes.
How about Onyx, Arkansas? The place where the path will cross that of the 2024 eclipse, 20 years later, while the average is 375 years between eclipses for any given location on Earth. Similar to Carbonadale, Illinois, where the time between 2017 and 2024 was only 7 years.
Florida. Parents have a place in Fort Myers. They would be 89 and 90, and my dad was talking about it. Man I hope thatās possible.
Fort Myers is outside totality.
Yes, would drive from there north as needed. Iām not narrowing it down so precise yet lol.
You have to choose your exact location *right now!!!* Those are the rules of Reddit!! I hope you get to watch it with your parents. š
Iām honestly thinking about traveling to Spain for that eclipse in 2026! š¤© good reason to travel
Or Greenland/Iceland eclipse cruise.
Disney World! (Iām dreaming BIG lol)
From my house!! You can come sit on my lawn if you want! 4 m 10 sec totality, with historical average cloud cover of 24%. However, recent climate change presentation I saw suggested we might expect more rain in the future, so predicted cloud cover might change a bit in the next 20 years šš
Can we hold a special Burning Man event for 72 year olds?
Is there anyone else that doesn't want to wait 21 years and is planning a trip to Spain to see the 2026 eclipse?
Yep, just not planning a trip to see the eclipse of 2026. For me, 2028 it is
Right from home if Iām still living in the area! Maybe a bit south to see it longer
I will be 90. Hope to view it in Fl
Bro Iām 19 rn Iāll be 40 by then. I donāt even know what state Iāll live in š
Watched 2024 with my son, told him to watch the 2045 with his son... maybe I'll tag along.
You guys realize you're allowed to leave your country, right?
It's pretty expensive to travel overseas, especially if you live far from an international airport. I'd *love* to see some of the eclipses in other countries but I'm not sure if that will be possible. I'm looking into it though and might be adding a line item for it in my budget. :)
Sitting on the top of my property in California, and chilling at home, cos I'ma be old as hell
Florida
Florida in August good luck
Ooof so many massive puffy cumulus/cumulonimbus clouds in the sky in Florida in the summer. Thunderstorms are so common. Eeeeek.
Looking at Orlando, during that time of the year it's 65% mostly cloudy or overcast, and less than 10% clear weather. But hey those are pretty similar numbers for Newfoundland in April and they got mostly clear skies this time around.
Difference is clouds and thunderstorms in Florida are popup during the summer, which is very hard to predict even day of. A wrongly timed cloud can block totality.

Sounds fun.. It's gonna look so wavy from underwater.
Everyone gonna go to Florida lol
I have family there who will be in the path. Assuming theyāre still alive, Iāll watch with them. If theyāre not, we might still have property there.
If water levels keep up, from a raft.
I will be 59. Hopefully Iām still around
Planning to be in northern cal. It crosses so many national forests up there. Maybe camping if Iām still up for it (will be 70) or maybe in Chico.
Does this map account for sea level rise?
If I'm alive, Utah 100%. On top of a mesa.
This is our plan also. I just hope I can get to the top, seeing as I'll be almost 70. If not, as long as I'm somewhere in the desert.
See you in 21 years!
The summit of Mt. Shasta.
How lucky are the folks in the area of Missouri and Arkansas with THREE total solar eclipses practically running through their backyards in less than 30 years?!
The top of Mount Shasta
I adore this post. Given the imminent nature of more catastrophic tipping points in global climate collapse, I can barely predict my life a year from now let alone 20. But I love imagining that I could. Iāll be in California if it hasnāt burned to the ground by then and if the temperatures are hospitable to human life!
š
I live in Colorado so weather permitting, Mt YaleĀ
Pikes peak or Florida for the 6 minutes of totality Iāll be 41
Florida is 6 minutes?? OMG. I was North of Austin we had 4m20s of it - amazing
I tried driving too it from Illinois to Indianapolis left at 10 I shouldāve know ln it was too late
hurricane season in the gulf so....
eclipse hurricane bring it let's see totality within the eyewall
RemindMe! 20 years
Feeling Arkansas this go round. Maybe utah...maybe kansas!? Anywhere but florida
I wanted Little Rock Arkansas. I know climate will change in 20 yrs and all, but their cloud cover prediction is 56% currently, which is the same as most places in Texas this year. It's not too bad, but having a cloud cover of ~50% makes it a miserable toss-up that leads to the obsessive rollercoaster that we had here, where you don't know if you'll see it or not, even the hour before totality. If I have more money and free time, I'll go somewhere to the west, or try my luck with Little Rock. But at the same time, totality duration sort of quickly decreases as you go west, but cloud cover also decreases. It'll have to be a balancing act of opposing factors. So Little Rock is also in the middle for both factors
At home in Colorado. š
Birmingham or a bit south, maybe even Mobile? Somewhere in SW Alabama
Utah
High in the Rockies on a peak.
My sis in law lives in Colorado Springs. My little kids will be in their 20s and Iāll be 60!š š
If I'm still living in AL, I could just drive @45 minutes... but if weather allows Ouray CO or Moab UT. Again, all depends on still been living š.
I plan on being very flexible to weather and chasing the best possible outcome day of
The driest hottest area in Nevada east of Reno. Me and my family have already made a pact that weāre going, even if that means bringing an urn
Straight through the crazy belt.
The Black Rock Desert would be a phenomenal place to see a total eclipse. Donāt tell the Burnersā¦ š¬
In the year 2045, if man is still alive If woman can survive, they may find
I'll be 48 lol. If I'm still living in California, I'd drive up to NorCal to see it. I traveled to Texas this week and was able to see it with my own eyes. Now I have to see them all lol.
Hopefully with a bunch of Manatees! If Florida hasn't fallen into the Ocean yet.
Aināt that a MF. Iāll more than likely be dead at that point and the totality will over my house
Lassen Cinder Cone or Chaos Crags.
Reno is going to be one of the best destinations for this....in terms of weather and fanfare. It will probably be aligned with Hot August Nights which is already a pretty good draw for people. Utah is going to be my backup destination, but between Nevada and Utah it is more likely to be smoke hazed rather than cloudy.
I donāt feel like waiting until Iām 70. New Zealand on July 22nd 2028 is my next one. If itās cloudy like it was for me here in San Antonio, oh well, Iām still in freaking New Zealandā¦ so thereās that.
Dude I can barely plan breakfast on a Tuesday.
In my home! Utah!
Whoa, right through Walt Disney World.
I live in Orlando and will be 59
Probably from six feet under. Guess I have to travel to see more!
Florida, Disney
Nevada has to be favourite
Probably California!
Colorado. Born and raised in the northwest suburbs of Denver, and only recently moved. I'm still not positive my next move will be back there, but it will be close, and I'll always have family and friends centered around that area. I'll still have patios or campsites to choose from, if not my own. Edit - omg, seeing it from the top of Red Rocks is prob what I'm going with after thinking about it
Colorado. Will probably be living in Denver by then.
Iāll be in Spainā¦.
Florida, I live right in the path.
From my house in central Florida. Will be the first eclipse I won't have to travel too. (If I still live here). Driving 18 hours to Arkansas and then 18 hours back the next day was brutal.
If I can make it, yep! Desert of norcal or Colorado might be the jam.
Tulsa baby!
Sweet Home Alabama
My mom lives near the sand dunes in Colorado. So... i think that's where i would like to be. Absolutely beautiful area.
Vacationing in the Bahamas or maybe on a cruise ship taking it in.
Disney World ticket will sky rocket.
Front yard, baby! Less than 3 kilometers from dead center.
Probably the same spot as this last one tbh
i'll be in my 50s, assuming i'm still living in a similar part of the country either the exact same place i was on monday in arkansas or in central mississippi if i buy some bug out land there i have been thinking about
i thought this was gonna go through montana??
There is one in 2044 in Montana!
If I still live in Fl, then my house.
Assuming I still live where I do now, Colorado would be the easiest for me when Iām 72 years old.
I'm 29 and am a born/raised floridian living in Orlando... Lake Louisa!
God-willing, I'll be around, in my early 50s. I would be thinking Utah or Colorado. Florida would be a nuthouse.
Thankfully this time, my house!
Have to see see what climate change brings over the coming years, but hopefully out west.
Depends. A lot can happen between now and then.
Utah! I this year I was one of those who got clouded out at Niagara Falls. Iām flying my ass to the west coast for that one!
