We Drove 1,500 Miles To Experience A Total Solar Eclipse!

Fun to see something not themepark / cruise related on your channel as well 😊

Seeing that someone else had the same reaction as me during totality is comforting because the eclipse was one of the most profound experiences I've ever had. A lot of people would react with just a "Yeah... it's cool..." and I was there being genuinely speechless and waxing poetry of how small we are in the universe. Thank you for sharing this.

I flew from TPA to DFW Sunday 5am and left Monday 10pm I’m still trying to catch up on sleep. My hotel was $140 wasn’t bad compared to Orlando hotel prices. But we saw totality at Hillsboro TX and so worth ever penny and lost sleep

As a North Carolinian can confirm: Don't stop at South of the Border. Also, I-95 in NC is trees. I-40 in NC from beach to mountains is the trip 😀

I wish I drove up to Vermont. I’m only 5 hours away from NYC. I regret not going outside to see. I was home folding laundry and I regret it big time. I even cried at your reaction.😢😢😢 so glad you guys saw and enjoyed this beautiful event

It was such a moving experience. The corona is so beautiful. We saw it in Arkansas. My friend was with us. His wife was in Dallas. She went into totality 9 minutes before we did. It was crazy.

I love that you got to do this! I was in a 94% totality area and I know exactly what you mean with the lighting. Since we didn't get 100% totality, we didn't get the sunrise/sunset effect. I was describing it as the space between dawn/dusk without the sunset. It was so surreal. I know the trees around you didn't have leaves, but around me, all the leaf shadows turned into crescents. Shadows were places where they wouldn't normally be. Like the light was passing UNDER things and the shadows were barely connected to things like my front gate. It really makes you feel like you're just a small speck in the universe.

Loved this video! I’m sorry about traffic and hotel issues! I don’t know if I would have drove but, I think I might already be secretly planning a trip for the 2045 eclipse!

That bridge you showed in JAX is less than a mile from my house! Its some of my favorite views of the city and shipyards! :)

Got to watch totality in my yard (Northeast Ohio) with my 12 week old son (had him in a carrier on my chest with a covering over him of course). What an experience.

Don’t roadtrip through the plains of the Midwest if you thought seeing trees was boring 😅 it’s flat land with zero trees

We stopped booking through discount sites after this happened to us, ONLY book directly through the hotel.

I was surprised we had such clear weather, I'm in Southern Maine and that happened to be the one nice day in between days of stormy weather. We got 97% totality too, it was incredible!! I hope you'll come back to New England again, we have some tiny little theme parks and boardwalk attractions that are worth checking out.

We watched totality it in our front yard, no clouds at all Southern IL. Was absolutely amazing! Was nervous as it was cloudy and foggy that morning but it cleared out.

We drove down to SE Missouri from NE Kansas and it was so worth it. The traffic wasn’t bad. We stopped in West Plains to watch and everyone there was SO LOVELY. We were worried about clouds but it stayed clear enough.

Just wanted to say this is an amazing video. Absolutely great job

We are in Michigan and drove to Ohio for it. Soooooo incredible!!! I don’t know how some people just go na I’ll stay in bed. Especially if they are in the area of 100%!!!!!! So worth seeing it. We definitely had birds doing crazy. In 2017 I was living in Ohio before I moved to Michigan. It wasn’t 100% but I was out there, still so cool!!!!

We traveled to Texas for Totality in Waco since it was the longest duration of totality. We were constantly monitoring the forecast and cloud tracking. It was looking dire for a while, but I kid you not, seconds before Totality occurred, the clouds completely parted. Unlike anything I've ever experienced in my life. I'm so glad you made this trip!

I really enjoyed this video! Thanks for sharing 😊

Great video. I saw it in Oklahoma. It was about a 5.5 hour drive up from Houston. The next one will have totality in Tampa and Orlando.
