[–] Behaviorbabe@kbin.social 12 points 2 years ago (4 children) I was thinking of taking my kids to see the eclipse at Niagara but…these guys and the combination of a large crowd has me concerned. permalink fedilink source hideshow 8 child comments replies: [–] merc@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 years ago It's a bit late to make plans. Roads are going to be massively congested in the hours before and after. The best way to avoid that is to stay somewhere overnight, but those places are all booked now. permalink fedilink source parent [–] PlantJam@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago Definitely take them! The next one in the US isn't until 2044 or something like that. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Socsa@sh.itjust.works 1 point 2 years ago Honestly I saw the last one and I don't get the hype. The shadows made cool shapes and then it got dark and then it stopped being dark. It was neat but not like this lose your mind shit. permalink fedilink source parent [–] dhork@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago If you have an opportunity to experience the total eclipse by taking a short trip, do it! I would avoid the tourist traps, though. They will be full beyond capacity. A small park in a rural town will get the same eclipse as Niagara Falls or other big cities inside the totality area. Be aware of general traffic, also, though. Plan to make a day of it, get to where you plan to go early and hang out for a while. permalink fedilink source parent
