solar eclipse

My original plan for watching this week’s total solar eclipse was to watch the partial eclipse at one of our local southeast Michigan metroparks.

While not in the path of totality, the park location offered over 99% obscuration of the sun during the eclipse.

Given totality was less than an hour drive, my husband and I decided this once-in-a-lifetime event for our area was something we wanted to see all of.

So we decided we would cross the state line into northwest Ohio, to an area of totality to watch.
