I’m just off the blue line, but headed to Texas for the eclipse.

Arkansas should have plenty of state areas to park in. That will be the Ouachita mountains area. Mena is an adequate town for supplies.

South east Oklahoma might as well. Talimena drive area

Funny you should ask..wx forecast today is CLOUDS! :ImaPoser I am just a few miles north of totality so if I get to see it, it will most likely be a shade or a shadow of sorts..should I have my umbrella handy? :lol8 :lurker

A clear day in Walton, NE. Maximum coverage was at 13:53 CST.

Not a complete eclipse for us like the one in 2017. We were in the direct path for that one.

I think one of my pix shows a solar flare, I see some orange around the edge, but not sure if it's just me or a real solar flare..will edit later for imgur link
