It’s going to be a marathon and an adventure. It might be stressful at times but I intend to make it glorious, not exhausting.
It’s a four-dimensional finish line to this race – space and time. The space – Kerrville, TX. The time, 13:32:07 on April 8th, 2024.

Kerrville is expecting somewhere between 300,000 and 500,000 visitors for the day of the eclipse. It’s going to be a madhouse.
To get a room there a four-day minimum was required, non-refundable, and at somewhere between three and five times the normal hotel rates. Ye olde “supply & demand” at work!
I’ll be driving out from Los Angeles, about twenty hours of driving, but over three days. That should give me sufficient slack to allow for any unexpected issues or detours.
I didn’t even think about flying out and getting a rental car – those reservations were pretty much booked and overbooked months ago.
In order to take that time off of work I’m going like a banshee now to try to not only keep up with my current workload but to get ahead and stay ahead for when I leave. (No good deed…)
So, a marathon, to have my butt and hopefully a trunk full of camera gear in a sunny spot in central Texas in the early afternoon twenty-seven days from now.
It WILL be glorious!

We are heading to sister-in-laws on the Canadian border. The problem – historically it’s only clear 15% of the time on that date.
