Steven lived in a duplex apartment with a good paved driveway perfect for parking Pumpkin for a few nights. We can watch the eclipse from our lawn chairs right there in the driveway.
We're ready for the once in a lifetime eclipse, but the weather is not. It is very cloudy and threatening rain. The view overhead doesn't look promising.
We were very disappointed. We were unable to see the moon shadow pass in front of the sun. The only evidence we could see was it got dark and the streetlights came on for a few minutes.
That was it.
Oh, well. There's always 2024 when a solar eclipse passes directly over the Bootheel area and Cape Girardeau, Mo. Maybe Wapapello State Park will be a good place to view it...if it doesn't cloud up.
