      Introduction

      Thank you for purchasing this book. It has everything you need to know about the total eclipse in Texas on April 8, 2024.

      A total eclipse passing through the United States is a rare event. The last US total eclipse was in 2017. It traveled from Oregon to South Carolina. The last American total eclipse prior to that was in 1979!

      The next total eclipse over the US will not be until April 8, 2024. It will pass over Texas, the Midwest, and on to Maine. After that, the next coast-to-coast total eclipse will be in 2045.

      It’s imperative to make travel plans early. You will be amazed at the number of people swarming to the total eclipse path. Some might say watching a partial versus a total eclipse is a similar experience. It’s not.

      This book is written for Texas visitors and anyone else viewing the eclipse. You will find general planning, viewing, and photography information inside. Should you travel to the eclipse path in Texas in April, be prepared for an epic trip. The estimates based on the 2017 eclipse suggest that millions will converge on Texas.

      Some hotels in the communities and cities along the path of totality in Texas have already been contacted by people to make reservations. Finding lodging along the eclipse path may be a major challenge.

      Resources will be stretched far beyond the normal limits. Think gas lines from the late 1970s. It may be likely that traffic along highways will come to a complete standstill during this event. Be prepared with backup supplies.

      Many smaller Texas towns are far from any major city. Texas country roads can be slow. Please obey posted speed limits for the safety of everyone. Be cautious about believing a map application’s estimate of travel time in Texas.

      People in all communities along the path of the total eclipse may rent out their properties for this event. With this major celestial spectacle in the spring of 2024, be assured that Texas hasn’t seen anything yet.

      Is this to say to avoid Texas or other areas during the eclipse? Not at all! This guidebook provides ideas for interesting, alternative, and memorable locations to see the eclipse. It will be too late to rush to a better spot once the eclipse begins. Law enforcement will be out to help drivers reconsider speeding.

      Please be patient and careful. There will be a large rush of people from all over the world, converging on Texas to enjoy the total eclipse. Be mindful of other drivers on eclipse weekend, as they may not be familiar with Texas roads.

      You should feel compelled to play hooky on April 8. Ask for the day off. Take your kids out of school. They’ll be adults before the next chance to see a total eclipse over America. Create family memories that will last a lifetime. Sastrugi Press does not normally advocate skipping school or work. Make an exception because this is too big an event to miss.

      Wherever you plan to be along the total eclipse path, leave early and remember your eclipse glasses. People from all around the planet will converge on Texas. Be good to your fellow humans and be safe. We all want to enjoy this spectacular show.
