Edgar Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 The path of totality for the solar eclipse occurring on April 8, 2024 will pass over both Hope and Indianapolis. https://www.eclipse-chasers.com/php/tseCalculatorBig2.php?TSE=tse2024d 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
codewritinfool Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 I love the entire idea of the eKlipsch. Klipsch marketing needs to take note and plan something spectacular. I plan to be there! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edgar Posted February 8, 2020 Author Share Posted February 8, 2020 Having witnessed the 2017 eclipse locally, I can say that an eclipse is a very moving, somber moment, one for total silence and contemplation. But when the light of the sun returns, turn up the volume! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But when the light of the sun returns, turn up the volume! I took my nephew on his first real road trip to witness it in 2017. We ended up in the middle of the Nantahala forest on a 2 lane road at about 5000' elevation and it's an event and trip that he will never forget. My niece was only 5 at the time, he was 14, and she was really upset that she didn't get to go. I promised her that the next one will be her time to go, and she reminds me on a regular basis. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigerwoodKhorns Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 I'd make the trip out for that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seadog Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 Hope is on the edge of the path where the duration of the total eclipse will be short. I live on the edge of the path also, but there are several state parks in Texas on or near the center line of the path. Looks like a good time for a camping trip. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thaddeus Smith Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 Wait, is this the Pilgrimage or some other event? I'm already confused.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvel Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 We drove up to middle tennessee for the 2017 one, close to the middle of the path. Out in a state park and it was pretty incredible. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the moment it's nothing but a big show to be put on my Mother Nature four years from now. I just happened to notice that it will cross both Klipsch locations. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

babadono Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 Went to Wyoming for the 2017 eclipse, my 5th one. The whole trip was a blast. I remember egging people on that were close enough to get in the path of totality. Close enough is not close enough, this ain't horseshoes. God willing I'll be with you all somewhere on the path of totality near Hope for the one coming up in 2024 @Mallette has talked about this already. Jeesh I'll be an old geezer by then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeesh I'll be an old geezer by then I wish I was in the path of totality for the 2017 eclipse. Here in central Oregon everyone was freaking out about the potential crowds so I stayed home, which was about an hour south of the path of totality. It was almost dark and still really impressive, however a few friends of mine were in the path and they said it was life changing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
