Today we are in Indianapolis, IN. It was cold and windy yesterday and rained overnight, so we were worried. But as forecast today was about 70F and mostly clear skies with a slight chill and light breeze. Tomorrow and Wednesday it is forecast to be cold and drizzly. We'll see if the forecasters did as well. We are at the Quality Inn Castleton in the NE corner of Indianapolis. Our totality lasted 3 minutes and 53 seconds here and it flew by! We just stayed in the motel's parking lot and given the mess of traffic, I think we did right. I will credit our lessons learned from our trip to a freeway motel in
South Carolina in 2017. Pick a place you can drive to within the band of totality, reserve 2 nights motel for before and after. Don't leave the parking lot until after breakfast the day after! There were maybe 2 dozen people in the parking lot so it was great here. It sounds like that this was our last total solar eclipse since the next one on this continent is evidently in 20 years! With totality in the Dakotas and Canada only. So, I think we're done and glad we came today!
