We made it the last 54 miles (zero traffic congestion) to St. Joseph, Missouri. Rosecrans Airport is hosting parking and overnight camping less than 1000 feet from the center of the path of totality. Several hundred RVs and tents cover the outer areas, while food trucks, media vans, and port-a-johns ring the central viewing area. 

We are watching movies and relaxing in air-conditioned comfort.  Cellular speeds have slowed slightly, but are still adequate. That will likely change when the day trippers arrive tomorrow.

We’ve already made several friends by accidentally making too much homemade ice cream. “Quick! Bring a spoon! It’s melting!” Instant friends.
