I would recommend finding a large lake located directly on the path of totality and then renting a nice house and a boat.
It was pretty awesome not having any trees nearby to block our view of the horizon in any direction.8/25/2017 8:51:41 AM |

i'd love to do finger lakes but it will be too cold, maybe something in texas/arkansas would work 8/25/2017 9:22:27 AM |

Mazatlán, Mexico seems like the best bet, if you don't mind traveling internationally.

Otherwise, I would look at the following areas, but the temperatures will gradually grow colder as you move further northeast:
Buchanan Lake, Texas Lake Tawakoni, Texas Pine Ridge Park, Arkansas Lake Ouachita, Arkansas Greers Ferry, Arkansas Lake Wappapello, Missouri Cedar Lake, Illinois Crab Orchard Lake, Illinois Lake Erie, Ohio 8/25/2017 2:06:00 PM |

The only other thing I would add for anyone considering traveling internationally to see another eclipse: the 2020 total solar eclipse appears to be passing over Villarrica Lake in Chile.

I watched from Cross Anchor, SC. My house was in totality and would have had about 1 minute, but I got greedy, seeing that I could add another minute of totality with just a 12-mile drive toward the center line. So I did it and got cock-blocked by a cloud at literally the last minute prior to totality. Blue skies all around. For maybe the last 20-25 seconds of totality, the sun/moon emerged from the thick part of the cloud and only had a thin cloud cover that you could see through. Better than nothing, and still dark, but perhaps I would have been better off just watching from home. It was partly cloudy when I left there as well, so who knows. I'd be willing to travel in 2024 if I can convince my family to go along. 8/25/2017 6:45:26 PM |

I want to say, on page 1 of this thread I was bragging about being in the 99.99% section of the eclipse and 1985 told me totality or bust. I listened. So, thanks, 1985. You saved the day! 8/26/2017 9:06:46 PM |
