I'm heading to Paducah in HTC to watch. Taking a great friend who coincidentally is a full time professional photographer, so that could yield some Corvette eclipse shots.

I need to find out just how close I am to the prime viewing area. I think it will be a few miles south of here.

I am up in Fredericksburg. I'll probably get in the vette and watch it from the driveway.

Live in Indiana, I’m going to our driveway and stand next to the C8 to watch it. I read on the Internet, if ya raise your engine bay cover, your DCT will be healed of any potential future problems. Can’t hurt. 😳😂

I was thinking about Paducah until I saw the Kentucky State Police warnings about how many people could be there on Monday. They are telling people to make sure they have a full tank of gas along with food and water in their cars. 😳

I am in NW Ohio, and we are also getting Armageddon traffic warnings. So, if I do anything, I might back it out of the garage, take off the top, and sit in the car while it happens. That assumes we don’t have cloud cover, which I fully expect based on our typical April weather patterns.
