Well, funny you should ask. I didn't make it all the way to Carbondale. I was taking country roads because the freeway was packed, and the eclipse started when I was out in the country. So I stopped the car and watched between a soybean field and a cow pasture. (The cows went nuts!)

Then I just turned around and drove back. It was weird. :-)

I'm in the ~95% totality area and about a 3 1/2 hour drive from the edge of it in southern central Illinois. I'd like to drive down to see it, but I'm not sure I'll be able to convince my wife to go. Kids are in school, so idk if the school will let us take the kids out for it, but I want to try.
