|---|---|
| Name | Zayani M |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | To happen the same day as a 97% total solar eclipse is pretty remarkable and emotionally exhausting. My husband and daughter were driving behind me, and they saw it too. According to my car's GPS, I was facing NW, but it felt more W. |
