-On August 11, 1999, myself and a couple of friends took a trip down to Cornwall
-to get in the path of totality for the eclipse that was happening in the UK that
-day. Unfortunately, the weather was not on our side and we had wall to wall
-clouds which meant that we could actually see anything. We did experience
-totality which was an awesome and eerie experience.
-
-This year, I knew about the eclipse happening across North America (where I now
-live) but didn't initially plan to travel for it.

-A friend of mine asked me on Sunday if I would be able to watch his cats, as he
-was planning to take a day trip down to Indiana to see the eclipse. Then he
-asked me if I'd like to come with him. My initial reason for deciding not to
-travel was that I had left it too late to book a hotel and the amount of driving
-to do it in a day would be brutal (about 12 hours!). I figured if he was
-planning to do the trip anyway I should take the day off and hitch a ride!
-
-He picked me up at 5am on eclipse day, and we began the trip down to Indiana
-from Madison, Wisconsin. We didn't have a specific location in mind, just that
-we would find the path of totality and then pick somewhere. We took a good look
-at the map on the way down and decided on Bloomington as it seemed like a small
-enough town that it wouldn't be too busy, but not so small that there were no
-amenities.
-
-About 3 hours after we left we found ourselves entering Indiana...

-
-It took us another 3 hours to reach Bloomington, at which point we had to
-decided where we were going to go. We found a nice park somewhere just outside
-downtown in the suburbs called Bryan Park. There were plenty of people already
-camped out for the eclipse but it wasn't busy.

-
-At 1:49pm (13:49) the moon started to move across the sun. For the next hour we
-watched through our solar eclipse glasses as the sun became obscured. Gradually
-it became darker and we noticed that the temperature was dropping. By the time I
-took the last shot of the partial it was almost dusk like.

-
-Then, at precisely 3:04pm (15:04) the moon completely covered the sun and...
-
-Wow.
-
-I mean, wow!

-
-For 4 minutes we stared in awe at the corona of the sun. It seemed massive in
-the sky. It went as dark as night. The birds stopped singing. People cheered and
-clapped.
-
-Then... the sun started to re-appear. Beading at the edges at first. Then
-becoming brighter until we needed to don our solar eclipse glasses once more.

-
-We decided not to stick around to watch the moon recede from in front of the
-sun. We were very hungry and also knew we had a long drive ahead of us (I ended
-up driving us the whole way back).
-
-We stopped for food at a local place called Yogi's Bar & Grill. It was good!
-They had this lovely bulb lit sign on the wall right over our table.

-
-After that we got back in the car and started the long journey back to
-Wisconsin. We decided to avoid Chicago on the journey back (Chicago drivers are
-fucking crazy!). My friend dropped me home at 11:30pm (23:30).
-
-It was a very long day, but absolutely worth it. Experiencing the eclipse was an
-absolutely fantastic experience. Seeing a partial eclipse is great, but it
-really doesn't hold a candle to being in the path of totality.
-
-I'm already thinking about how I can get to Spain or Iceland for the eclipse in
-2026. I'll be better prepared this time!
