I really enjoyed the 2017 Eclipse, so I decided to drive up to Marcy Field in the Adirondacks to take in the 2024 eclipse. The next eclipse in the continental US is in 2044, so…

The drive back was ridiculously long, as what seemed like the entire population of the Eastern US drained out of the Adirondacks and adjoining areas.
