Total Solar Eclipse coming to NY: April 8, 2024

The worst traffic was Keene to Albany. It got better, far from great but better, after that. It took three and a half hours to get to about Saratoga from Wilmington. That was leaving Wilmington at 7:40PM.

There were millions of people up there. We had stop and go on the Northway at Glens Falls at 10:30am. Did not take that back, snaked down Rt.30 instead. That had an hour stop and go through Indian Lake.

We left Gore around 2:15pm Sunday.
Didn’t make it back to Oneida lake till dusk.
Much more ATV & motorcycle traffic than autos on some of the roads we took.
Sometimes ya gotta get out & stretch on a swing in the square too.

I should have stayed at our place. Neighbors told me the clouds were a not issue, spectacular on our street.

The website I found, estimated of totality at our place was spot on. 64 seconds.

I saw several just brutal fotos of the Northway and Route 73. Glad I had the luxury of staying local. Wispy clouds didn't obscure our view.

Tony’s not crazy. That was awesome.

I left Whiteface at 4:15 Did not go down Keene Valley , took 9N to Elizabethtown, then down 9 to Schroon Lake. Ended up taking Rt 45 to North Creek then right past Gore to Rt 8 down across 17. Traffic across 17 from Binghamton to Middletown was crazy. Usually 4hrs 35 minutes from the Face to home down 87. I knew not to get on 87. Took me 7 hrs last night using the back roads.
