Old Man ~ Fat Bike 66 - Fat Eclipse??

So today, Monday April the 8th, 2024, was the day everyone was waiting for! We finally get a chance to witness another Solar Eclipse!! I was lucky enough to see the last one in 2017. I thought that one was cool. I found a great spot here in Washington, Missouri to watch the Solar Eclipse. I set up my GoPro 8 with my 2022 Kona Woo in the foreground and the beautiful sun above it. I started recording a couple minutes before the eclipse was to take place and a few minutes after. I was very disappointed to say the least when I got home and reviewed the footage!! Perhaps the GoPro isn't the camera to capture a solar eclipse, or the high clouds interfered with my video or both? You be the judge.

Where we live in Johnson county, Texas and my daughter Jeni in Jonesboro, Arkansas we were in the path of totality. It was pretty wild, and dark for about 4 minutes. 👍✌

That's awesome, Tony! I'm glad you got to see that! Our coverage was supposed to be >90% coverage. I did NOT experience that!! Oh well, it was nice being outside soaking up the sunshine and listening to the birds @BluecollarBackcountry 😊

That's funny, Brad! I was all excited because our coverage was supposed to be > 90%. I very very disappointed when I checked out the footage. Oh well, at least I gave it a good try @bradbell4055!! 🙌😎

At least you had a nice day to be out. Here in Ohio I took the wife and parked at my mountain bike parking area, set up our lawn chairs, and just took it all in. Tried one picture, it wasn't very good, but the awesome sight is etched in my mind. Ride on Old Man.

That is awesome, Chuck! I'm happy to hear you were out taking in the view as well!! It was a great day to be out enjoying nature. Thanks for taking the time to comment on this rather boring video @chuckmoll1611! 😊

We only had a 65% eclipse here in CO, so I didn’t bother trying to view it.

We had total eclipse where I am. The 'solar bands' on the ground just before and as it passed were amazing.
