    A very rare moment place. Total Eclipse of The Sun × 2. So glad this spot and the surrounding area was easy to access. While it was a bit remote, the paved roads made the trip more enjoyable. Talk about a boost to the small town economy!

    X marks the spot. This eclipse convergence point is not an official place of worship, but it would be wise to put an official marker here. Presently, it appears to be a nice shade tree for a memorial bench. Convergence point of both the Oct 2023 eclipse and the Apr 2024 eclipse.

    Thank you for finding the exact convergence. I have been trying to figure it out and then saw your marker on Google maps. Thanks for sharing.
