That's exactly what happened at the last eclipse back in 2017. To get to the path of totality, I had to drive on an unpaved forest service road for several miles. Where the road ended there was a big clearing with a bunch of people already there. Fortunately they were very friendly, it was kind of a party atmosphere. Anyway, it was worth all the trouble. One thing was that I got some great photos of the eclipsed sun. I'm looking forward to the upcoming event in April. I'll be in Mexico where viewing should be good, bad weather being less likely in that region. Hopefully I'll be able to get even better photos this time around.
