2024 Great American Eclipse

Making The Trip

Who wouldn’t want to witness the 2024 “Great American Eclipse”. I sure did so I made the plans to make it happen. I booked the trip to New York just outside the finger lakes.

Arrival

We arrived on Sunday hoping be where we need to be and avoid all the eclipse traffic. Arriving Sunday at around 3pm was perfect for seeing where the Sunday will be at the time of the Monday eclipse. All the gear was unpacked and set up, to figure out locations and get everything into focus.

The Weather Turned

After everything was set up and and all plans were made it was time for eclipse day. Unfortunately, we had clear sky’s the whole trip except for the time for the eclipse. It got cloudy and even rained. All I got to capture was this time lapse of totality on the world around us.

All was not lost. It was still a great trip and a good getaway.
