The stress this year of worrying about viewing conditions and traveling to a site took some of the blush from the experience. Making the hard part somebody else's problem sounds very appealing now.
I didn't find the experience to be that stressful. I admit that I woke up a couple of times in the middle of the night and checked traffic cameras to see how bad things were, but they weren't bad at all and we totally got up at 5am and just headed south and found a bitchin' spot.
I feel like for 2024, though, I'll have to find some organized viewing party because I'll have to travel for the event and won't know the area.
