I'm the OP. In 2017, we did a short road trip from metro ATL up to Elgin SC. My younger sister and husband live there - and it was in the dead center of the 2017 eclipse. It's a small town and held a viewing in the town park which ended up being rather crowded. We are already working on plans for a Dallas/Austin TX trip for 2024. We lived in metro Dallas for 7 years about 30 years ago.
