[Lex Computer & Tech Group/LCTG] Solar Eclipse Map from Maine Tourist Office

Wed Mar 6 14:51:16 PST 2024

I am a full-time RVer living in southern California, so I'm planning to
hang out in southern Texas the day before the eclipse and move (or not)
depending on forecasts. That said, If I were in New England, I would be
tempted to drive up to Grand Isle or thereabouts even if total clouds were
forecast. It would still get really dark and might be an interesting
experience.
