I know I could just stand outside anywhere just east of Dallas, but are there any planned viewing events that seem worthwhile? Thanks.

It is the fricking sun. Just go anywhere and......look up.



ETA: My apologies for being so crass on such a nice Thursday morning.

Looking for any potentially fun event in a park or similar. I already said I could just stand around in a parking lot.

Expect traffic to be real bad anywhere in the dead center of the path

In all seriousness, troll Xwitter a bit. There's all sorts of eclipse talk by the weather and nature photography types. They're big excited about it.

Why do we have more eclipses now than we used to? I have been on this earth over 40 years and have seen 4 eclipses if count this one. The last 2 were only a few years apart. It also coincides with time moving faster (which I don't think anyone can argue has been happening since 2012). Are we spinning faster?

OP, I’m looking for the same info. I did find a little town festival thing in New Boston, TX. Hoping to spend Sunday night in Shreveport, and, if we are still alive, to drive over there for the midday festivities.

I can tell you that I looked for hotels in Tyler and found exactly one room available. A Motel 6 for $500.

We will get about 98% totality here in Granbury, so I'll drive about 30 miles east to Cleburne to get 100%.
