The eclipse was 2 minutes, 40 seconds of shock to my senses, and made for one of the most moving and awe-inspiring experiences of my life. A true miracle from our creator.
Seeing 100% "totality" made all the difference. It was just so beautiful, colorful pink and red beads on the ring of the moon. The moon had more of a 3D appearance than the usual flat look with greens blues and purples surrounding it, and watery silvery waves of light shining outward. The curtain of darkness that sucked up all light just as it hit and the bright "diamond ring" at the beginning and the end made it even more special. Just unbelievable the whole thing.
I'll never forget what it looked and felt like.
We got up in the middle of the night and drove 5 hours to the small town of Boonville, Missouri, that sat right in the center of the path of totality. We arrived around 10am with quite a few other viewers at Rolling Hills Park, just 2 hours before the start. It took close to 2 hours from the time the eclipse started to the time it totality hit. We were worried the show would be ruined by some cloud cover during the build up to totality, but that mostly cleared up before totality. When the last sliver of the sun got eaten up by the black hole of the moon, everything went dark, and I actually forgot to take my eclipse glasses off for a second. When I pulled them off, I saw IT. When the sun reappeared, it seemed like the purist white light I've ever seen. Just astonishing!
For those of you who only saw a partial eclipse, it was probably a "meh" experience for you. Your next chance to see a full eclipse in the United States is in 2024. The extra effort to drive a couple of hours to get into the 100% coverage zone IS worth it! You will never experience anything like this. An 75%, 90% or even a 95% eclipse is not good enough, because with 5% or even 1% of the sun still exposed, it's going to be far too bright - it will seem like an overcast day and you won't get to see the "surprises" that a full eclipse gives you. You won't see the night sky, the stars, the diamond ring, the twinkling "Bailey's Beads", the sun's corona or the sparkling bright horizon in all directions.

On August 4th 2017 I made my second #Eclipse2017 photoshoot scouting trip. My focus is the Glacial Hills in Doniphan County, KS (northeast corner of Kansas). I drove from Topeka to Atchison, and then followed the Glacial Hills Scenic Byway on K-7 Highway to White Cloud, KS. This photo was taken a few hundred feet east of the intersection of K-7 and Main St in White Cloud.
