I saw my first eclipse in 1979 by Goldendale WA. Drove 3 hours from Seattle overnight and another hour to a clear area. Clouds were iffy but we got a good view when the clouds parted for the whole eclipse.

In 2017 I went to Boise to see the last one, again my brother was with me as he was in 1979.

I am already planning my trip for 2024.
