Side note, I went to South Carolina in 2017 and saw that one too. Equally incredible, both of them. I hope to get the chance to see another, and hope everyone gets the chance to see totality some day if they haven't yet.

And yes...I drove the four hours (took seven) back home. It was so bad trying to leave there, I turned around and ended up going north and east, above the Whites, US-2 to 16 back to Mass. Back and neck pain today? WORTH IT!

You summed it up perfectly. We had stayed overnight in Jackson and head to Errol for the day.

Took us 7 hours to get home to southern NH, but it was totality worth it!
