I had read about the largesse of a total that I put out signs on our small highways in all four directions to come to my land (10 acres) to camp and view. I bought a bunch of sunglasses, hamburger makings and other foods items. My wife and daughter laughed at me.
I had 10 RV's camp in my back 40. I made +$1,500 through sales that day. I didn't say "I told you so" to my wife and daughter but I could see I didn't have too. My IQ shot up 20 points from that day.
If you have a chance to travel a bit to view the Totality, do it. It is one of those memories burnt into you for life.

I was just outside of Lathrop. We got clouded out. Still bummed.
But I do have video of the totality happening. I will agree that is a great experience.
