On August 21st, 2017, I drove to Fairmont, Nebraska to view the solar eclipse. The first half of my drive from Wichita was constant rain, leaving me wondering if I would see anything at all. I lucked out with grabbing some shots between clouds. Fairmont was directly on the maximum totality line with a duration of 2 minutes 36 seconds. Those 156 seconds flew by incredibly fast. Totality was surreal with the 360 degree sunset, considerable drop in temperature, and the fully eclipsed sun.
