Slow down and watch the moon devour the sun! And, if Groundpseak gets its act together, maybe even nab a souvenir!
In 2017, mrs qbee and I drove from sunny Southern California to Nebraska where I held my The Big Yellow One's the Sun! event.
Well, another 7 years have passed and this time we'll be driving Deep In The Heart of Texas!

Gee, qbee37, the fam and I really want to witness the Total Solar Eclipse, but we're going to be crossing the great prarie and don't have any idea when or where we should stop. What's an adventurous cacher to do?
qbee37 answers:
Well worry no more intrepid traveller. Hop in your cache-mobile on April 8th and point its Nav system at Badu Park in beautiful Llano, a prime location that sits just 8.6 miles southwest of dead-center on the path of totality (a convenience that costs us only 3 seconds of totality).
When you get there, you can join a bunch of like-minded cachers in oohing and aahing at this rare and spectacular spectacle from 12:15 to 2:30 PM CDT! So come join the fun and bring your trackables; I'm sure they'll be able to hitch a ride to distant locations. And no, one need not be a traveller to join in the fun, although local cachers should consider car-pooling to avoid overwhelming the parking.
And most importantly, don't forget your eclipse-safe sunglasses!!
