Yup, me and some friends already have a hotel in southern Missouri ready
2017 was awesome.
It was well, well, worth the experience. I am very excited to do it again.
St Joe MO was at the epicenter of eclipse mania in 2017. Then it rained the whole day lol.
Key is flexibility. Be close to the path, and if the weather is crappy or there are clouds be willing to drive a bit to the to the next spot. My gf at the time and I drive out to Sedalia and was as aforementioned, well worth the experience
