We are just back from Vermont.
Wanted to see 100% totality. So, 11 hrs in the car (roundtrip) for less than an hour taking photos (the only stop on the entire journey). At times 4mph on the highway (speed limit 70mph). Bumper to bumper.
We also got stuck in mud and a kind guy pulled us out with his Jeep.
But totally worth it!
Bottom left is how dark it got during totality.
All that just to chase a shadow. Now I know how the groundhog feels
