We drove within 5 miles of Carbondale, IL (about 3 1/2 hr. drive one way without traffic LOL) and saw the full eclipse from a small town KC park with about 20 other people. It was awesome! The cicadas started chirping and the sunset was 360 degrees. Lasted almost 2 1/2 minutes. It actually is a bit closer to us in 2024 so will have another chance, I hope.
