Happy Saturday and solar eclipse day to you all! I decided to ride the Hunter 350 to the San Antonio area to observe the annular eclipse today. I learned a few things about the Hunter and eclipses today. Skip around with the chapter markers below. Be ready for the next major eclipse on April 8, 2024! It will be a major event because that's the last total eclipse to cross the USA until the year 2045, so it will be a last-in-a-lifetime opportunity! Here are some great links with details: https://www.exploratorium.edu/eclipse/2024-total-solar-eclipse-guide https://science.nasa.gov/eclipses/future-eclipses/eclipse-2024/where-when/ https://www.nsta.org/blog/get-ready-2023-24-solar-eclipse-double-header https://lowell.edu/visit/plan-your-visit/upcoming-solar-eclipses Time indexes: 0:00 Heading to Seguin to watch the annular solar eclipse 3:55 Refueling the Hunter before hitting the highway 6:58 Crushing miles on the super slab, drafting big trucks to save fuel 9:55 Top speed run into heavy winds, 80 mph on GPS! 14:02 The RE Custom Seat is thinner and not as plush as the original 17:02 Stopping for refreshments before the observation point 21:30 Public lake?
