Do you have any plans for the eclipse?

We’re only 3 hours away from a total eclipse area. It’s in St Louis, MO. I’m trying and trying to convince Rick that we need to pack up the Escalade and just GO! Find a camp sight (or someone’s back yard) where we can primitive camp for virtually nothing. Throw an air mattress in the back of the truck, along with our table top grill and the dogs. Head out tomorrow or Sunday.
Best of all, it’s a good meeting ground for two of my long lost motherless boys, Jauvier and Thurman and his family. Jauvier just got out of jail (again. sigh.) and we just found Thurman last year, after 20 years.
OMG. That would be a once in a lifetime happening, getting them together. And for the eclipse!

Plus I have a Facebook friend who I’ve been trying to get together with who also lives in that area. Just the other day she welcomed an exchange student from South Korea into her home. He just got in Wednesday. Can you imagine if they came, and one of an exchange student’s first American experience was be a tailgate party?!
And KNOW IT ALL lives around there too.

If nothing else, and we stay home, I’m heading to the highest point in town. I’d see a decent partial eclipse. Hope I beat the crowds. I could bring my son and his family with me.

So, what are your plans, if any?
