    We drove down to Lawrenceburg for the weekend and drove back Monday morning to get into totality.

    It was a nightmare coming from outside Cincy, once we passed the first tiny town in totality (brookeville,) it was empty. To my surprise. We stopped in Richmond and it was a ghost town.

    Seems everyone outside just went to the closest place to them possible…strange.

    Edit: parking was $20, apparently a steal! 😂

      I’m in Terre Haute, which was in the path of totality. We went to a park south of town where there’s a pioneer village and they were having a mini festival. It was a decent-sized crowd, but nothing massive. We were able to drive home pretty much right away.
