We made a last minute decision after our weekend with the Davis family to travel further south to St. Joseph, MO to be in the path of the solar eclipse. We stayed in Des Moines on Sunday night and drove down to St. Joseph the morning of Aug 21.
We ended up being stuck behind some pretty thick clouds, but got some decent views through our eclipse glasses at the moon partially covering the sun before and after the event.
The most awesome and eerie experience was during the 2 minutes of totality when it went completely dark. The daylight disappeared, it seemed like nighttime, crickets chirped, and all fell silent. Then like a light switch, it became bright again.
It was soo neat and totally worth experiencing that, even if we didn't SEE it.
