    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 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

    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.

    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.

    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!!!!

    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 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 traveled up to Nebraska (from Oklahoma) in 2017 to see an eclipse. There's truly no way to fully describe how awesome watching one is. For this past eclipse, we were supposed to travel down to far SE Oklahoma to see it in totality again, but the clouds were too much of a gamble. The one in 2045 (that I hope to still be alive for) should come straight over where I live.

    I love you did a road trip video!! That's how we vacation and I'm loving the Buccee's stop. I am driving through some northern states this summer so I was looking to see if there were any along the way only to find out it's a southern thing. I don't think we have anything equivalent in Canada. The closest I've seen is Flying J's out west and "OnRoutes" in Ontario. But it doesn't seem the same.
    But seriously, I love road trip videos but so many don't do them well (skip all the actual road part) so I love all the driving bits. I once did the drive from Ontario to Florida but most was done at night. Love the scenery. Trees are my favourite, haha!
