Eclipse 2024
Eclipse 2024 in Erie, PA
On April 8, 2024, a total solar eclipse will be visible to fortunate observers in the United States along a narrow band, approximately 115 miles (185 km) wide, that will cross fifteen states from Texas to Maine.
Nothing there is beyond hope, nothing can be sworn impossible, nothing wonderful, since Zeus, father of the Olympians, made night from mid-day, hiding the light of the shining sun, and sore fear came upon men. Archilochus, Greek poet, following the total solar eclipse of 647 BCE
I decided to make this an 8 day roadtrip with Morfy. Leave From Philadelphia and head to Erie, Pa at Lake Erie to see this eclipse. On to Kalamazoo, MI to see an old friend. Then through Canada following Lake Erie to Buffolo, Toronto. Back through Niagra Falls into NY and onto the Finger Lakes Region in NY. Then Home back to Philly.
Completed as planned. Did about 2,100 miles in 8 days.
