Totality is potentially a once in a lifetime event. Imagine it being so dark at 1pm that you can see stars. This is going to be an absolutely amazing event, if weather cooperates.
Be glad of your cancellation CoronaBorealis. Don't follow the sheep. Forge your own path. I seen the same in Nebraska. I can't believe people paid some of those amounts but they did. Worst part is I drove past many of these committed, cloud covered corpses that were in the dead zone due to making a decision too early. I stayed flexible and mobile. You must have a clear sky or most all of the magic will die. Another thing is I did not, on last event, and will not on future be around any crowds. This is a natural event that causes animals to act differently during the process. If you want to hear screams and chearing, chatter and distractions pull into the parking lots of cars and clusters of campers. Silence is Golden. I drove off the beaten path, down a dirt road, NW of Grand Island Nebraska (Hornady Plant) near Cairo, overlooking the Middle Loup River. Just me, my dog and a lawn chair. I needed to hear the crickets chirp, see birds go to roost, wildlife come out to feed and cows bed under the trickery of a false sunset and twilight episode. My old dog even caught a quail and showed it to me before consumption. MAGICAL !

My brother and I drove into Nebraska for the last one, out in the country, pulled off the road, got out our lawn chairs, packed a lunch and enjoyed it all to ourselves.
April day before we'll be in Branson and decided to drive south toward Russellville Arkansas and see what we can see

I'd really like to see it. At this point I figure I might just drive to where the path is and just pull off on the side of the road for a few minutes. Make a day trip of it.
College buddy lives right in the middle down by College Station. Going down for a little reunion and eclipse viewing. I bet traffic will be nuts.
With all of this smoke, its getting pretty dark.
Eclipse chasing Millenial snowflake Idiots out in the woods camping in the chiggers, ticks and baby copperheads, dealing with Southeastern Oklahoma and Arkansas cops running small town speed traps should be entertaining
And alcohol because you're gonna get screwed without getting screwed.
Forecast is cloudy for some areas.
