[@edwardsweeten4152]

Wow. Glad you were able to see it. Awesome, thank you for sharing this awesome event

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Thanks for watching! It was surreal. We couldn't believe it was happening.

[@johnstephens4087]

Thank youal so much it was real nice of you al to do this my wife and I seen a 97% cover in mid Missouri first time we have seen a total we are in our late 70s thank you again

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Our pleasure! Thanks for watching. We were amazed by the spectacle and wanted to share our experience.

[@dfastor9959]

I saw totality for about 3.5 minutes in Cleveland, OH. Really lucked out on the clear sky. You described so many aspects perfectly - especially that erie feeling 5 minutes before totality. My friend had to tell me to take off my protective glasses as soon as that last sliver of sun disappeared. I live near and watched from a famous cemetery/nature preserve. All the wildlife got quiet. A hawk just “appeared” overhead about 30 minutes before totality and left about 15 minutes afterward. I had never seen the “nocturnal” wildlife in the cemetery (they lock the gates at sundown). I was in awe of the show in the sky, but took a moment to do a 360° video around us during totality. Seeing the light all around the horizon while it was dark up above was amazing. A fair number of folks watched from the same area but we all had plenty of space. Overall, it was a once-in-a-lifetime gift I think I will hold onto for a very long time. Still amazed I watched the whole thing in what is nearly my backyard. There are a lot of jokes about Cleveland but this time we were in the right place at the right time. Thanks again for your great video. I really appreciated the images and the commentary.

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

It was definitely a once in a lifetime event. The duration of totality was remarkable. Glad you experienced it firsthand.

[@DebDeBoop]

What a totally awesome video, you two… You show the real excitement and energy of the moment.

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Glad you enjoyed it! It was surreal.

[@hillpasturefarm2995]

Thankyou for your passion... 🙏❤😊

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

You're welcome, Claudio. We enjoy sharing our experiences with everyone. Glad you enjoyed it.

[@SonarTravels]

My son and I drove from Idaho and I live in Wyoming, saw family in Chicago then booked a HipCamp Sunday night for $20 in Maynard Arkansas, and they let us stay as long as we wanted after the eclipse. Nice on the river spot. 100% Clear skies, was awesome. Shot hundreds of photos with my R5 and 70-200 lens. Nice job and glad you got to see it.

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Sweet. That's fantastic and it kept you out of the "eclipse traffic".

[@scottashe8463]

Thanks for the great video of totality it was wonderful. I can only imagine what it was like in person.❤

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Glad you enjoyed it, Scott. Super cool in person and very surreal.

[@piushorning4869]

I don't recall seeing a solar eclipse while growing up but in my navy days travels I got to see several. we would go to the gun turrets and look through the sighting glass to see the eclipse. this one, we did not get to have much of an eclipse here in town, plus I was having my teeth cleaned that day. I figured I didn't miss much

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Totality was super cool. Hope everything went well at the dentist. Thanks for watching.

[@TheRealBiggerAl]

Woo pig sooie! That was surreal for sure. Glad you could visit our state to see the eclipse.

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Loved being back! Woo Pig Sooiee! Razorbacks!

[@sherryarcher4832]

I drove from Idaho to Oden Arkansas to watch the Eclipse. It was awesome. My plan was to go to Maine to watch it, all the weather advisors said cloud cover there. Turns out we could have.

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

That was our plan too, Sherry based on the weather. Maine had some of the clearest skies for the event...go figure! We were very fortunate that the weather cleared for us too. It was spectacular. Glad you got a chance to experience it.

[@gailthompson4102]

Thank you so much for sharing this- we were in the path of totality but totally clouded over.

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

You are so welcome, Gail. Grrr... on the clouds. We were looking at the forecast hourly then decided to stay based on the trend. Glad we did.

[@dwaineesch1344]

Thank you for sharing your experience. Pretty awesome.

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Our pleasure! It was a special moment. Thank you for watching.

[@lisachristensen6117]

Totally eclipse of the heart is the song.

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Thank you. 😃

[@Julie-g3u]

Thats awesome

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Appreciate the comment.

[@nortonnewmann3711]

We were at Mt. Gilead state Park in Ohio. ABSOLUTELY STUNNING view! Exactly as you guys showed it... sunny and 70 degrees for us and it got chilly! And we saw the same star show as you guys! Once in a lifetime for us! 😊

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Definitely. That is fantastic to be able to see this celestial event in person.

[@katcurrington8547]

Thank you for sharing this ,I loved seeing this

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Glad you enjoyed it, Kat. Thanks for watching.

[@larryburkett9628]

We saw it in Toledo Ohio yesterday, and it was AWESOME. Don Mclean song

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Wooo Pig Sooiee! That would be fun. Thanks for the comments.

[@kathymason1767]

It was amazing! My son & I traveled to northern Ohio to see the eclipse.

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

So cool! Thanks for sharing.

[@davidschmittsr.3121]

Thank you so much for taking us along on such an incredible journey! Our Lord has provided us with a glimpse of the darkness that covered the face of the earth on the day of our Saviors death. Praise be to God for his incredible mercy.

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@conniemitchell3245]

Thanks so much for sharing. Love all your videos 😘😘

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

You are so welcome!

[@abbylea2359]

A total eclipse is so awesome. Everyone should see one.

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

I agree. We did this for our memories and our family but also for those not able to see it in person.

[@hotladyleo]

I live close to Shreveport/ Bossier seen 99.98% amongst lots of clouds. But it was awesome. And Monday thru Wednesday we got storms. ❤

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Oh wow! Timing is everything!

[@gthornton3]

Thx for sharing

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Thanks for watching!

[@julier8106]

It was cloudy in Minnesota so we didn't see it. Thank you for sharing!

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

You are welcome. We're excited to share our experiences with everyone.

[@DragonflightAdventures1]

Thank you so much for sharing this. Way cool! Here in south Texas the clouds were really socked in. The RV park had a band and food trucks hanging out in their big parking lot. No eclipse experience but at least could party. 😂 I saw the total eclipse in Washington in 2017 so know those feelings and the awesomeness.

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Glad you experienced it before. At least you had a party this time! Hope you enjoyed it.

[@barbarahines4775]

Thank you for the video

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

You're welcome. Appreciate the comments and your time watching the channel. 😃

[@andrewwylie2117]

Thanks for sharing...

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Thank you. I wanted to do this for our memories but also for those not able to see totality.

[@marianbrinley4389]

Thank you for sharing your experience!! I watched from my driveway in NC, there was no total coverage in my area.❤❤❤

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Oh wow! Glad you got to see it. Totality was amazing. You're welcome, we enjoy sharing our experiences.

[@conniemitchell3245]

Fantastic videos love it!!!

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Thanks so much!

[@jannapeters8506]

This was my first solar eclipse and I watched it from my back deck in NW Ar. Awesome experience.

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

You had a great view! Went to school in Fayetteville, Go Hogs!

[@jannapeters8506]

@@bigtruckbigtravels I am in Parthenon, Ar, 6 miles SW of Jasper.

[@timfeckley1689]

It was awesome in nw Ohio also

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Nice. Great skies for viewing!

[@pvdogs2]

Thanks for sharing!!! Where we are in southern Ontario, it was cloudy until about 1:30 pm and then the full sun came out. It then became eerie as just as it started to get dark, all of the birds stopped chirping and flew off. We're a bit north of the path of totality and more of the sun was eclipsed than we expected ie all but a small, narrow crescent shape along one edge. It was amazing! I read that some of the bright 'spots' that we could potentially see would be Venus. Mercury and possibly even Mars. Watching all of the media coverage last night, it was nice to see so many happy people gathered together to focus on the eclipse even it it was only for a short time.

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Yes. Good to see. Those stars were planets, we're told, so that was fantastic.

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

That's still amazing. It was very eerie during totality. Dark yet not dark. So cool. Thanks for watching the channel.

[@briangoins2453]

That was an awesome video. Here in East Texas we had a great view as well. Y’all really do make good content and you do take great pictures if you’re not professionals I’d say your dang close.

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Thanks, Brian. Our region lucked out with weather for sure. Sondra enjoys taking pictures. Appreciate your time watching the channel.

[@dukelane3954]

Thank you very much.... I doubt I would have got to see it if it wasn't for this video❤

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

You're welcome. Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks

[@karenbookout3487]

Loved watching this with you! Thanks for sharing 😀

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

You're welcome. Glad you enjoyed it.

[@elzabethmorgan8020]

Wow! Beyond awesome! We only had 50% coverage here in Wyoming, fairly cloudy, though it did get noticeably darker during the eclipse, that weird time you were talking about. Thanks so much for sharing this amazing experience!

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Glad you enjoyed it and excited you could experience it with us.

[@LUIXRGUEX]

That was amazing! I saw it in Mazatlán México

[@carolync3617]

Thank you for sharing. We had 4 minutes 21 seconds of totality in West Tawakoni Texas. Unforgettable.

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Oh wow! That's cool!

[@raoulroberts2024]

I heard so many folks say that the clouds parted just in time. Perfect!😊

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Yes... that was a common sentiment out there for those in totality.

[@flyingdutchwoman]

I saw it 50yrs ago for the first time. now for the second time. and there is a possibility that i may see it for a third time.

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Nice! Very cool indeed!

[@brendanoleary5885]

Incredibly cool. Well done guys

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Thanks, Brendan. It was surreal.

[@lorettaspradlin9868]

Just watched this… incredible- thank you so very much. I hope that by now y’all do know that the “the star” was actually the planet Jupiter

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Thanks, Loretta. Yes, we definitely know! 😆 🤣 Our bad! We were just so taken aback by the celestial event that our brains went numb! Appreciate your time watching the channel. 😃

[@ssranch6017]

Didn't know y'all was that close to me. I live in Stuttgart Arkansas it's a little ways away. But I love Hot springs God bless you guys

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Thank you. I graduated from Fayetteville and love coming back to the state during our travels.

Total eclipse of the heart by Bonnie Tyler 😂❤

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Thank you. I was not thinking straight at the time. Lol 😆

[@TheGrayLifewithJimPearl]

We had clear skys and it was so amazing. So glad your pictures turned out. Ours were just a orange blob through the filter.

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Thank you very much. We could have been more prepared (camera filters) but we managed. It was truly a special event.

[@Threadsandjars]

"Total eclipse of the heart" by Bonnie Tyler. And being a world traveler I have seen 5 total solar eclipses in my adult life. I would travel to see more if I could. It's beyond being able to describe. Thank you so much for all your time and effort to bring us these amazing videos. Be healthy, stay safe and many blessings, Morgan

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Yes I definitely missed on the song reference. Thank you. We're excited to have you along on the journey. 😊

[@carolhenderson1156]

We got to see totality near Erie Pennsylvania. The ethereal light just before totality was so cool and we were so surprised at how dark it got with a 360 degree "sunset". An experience so worth the effort, we all got emotional and so pleased to be able to be part of this event.

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

It was incredible and very surreal. Glad you were a part of it.

[@jeanierenee214]

Good job!

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Thank you very much. We enjoy sharing our experiences.

[@marytroche984]

Another great video! It’s such an amazing feeling when the totality occurs 😎😎 and you did an awesome job of showing it. I’m in North Georgia and we were only able to visualize a partial eclipse nonetheless it was pretty cool too!

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Amy type of eclipse is cool. Glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for the comments.

[@dawnreeners8390]

Txs ours was cloudy in Rochester, ny

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Sorry for the clouds. Thanks for watching the channel 😀

Glad you enjoyed it but sorry it was cloudy for you.

[@celebrity2ballans]

It cleared for us here South of Fort Worth, just in time

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Nice. That was very fortunate. Glad you saw it.

Hey guys. That was very cool. We were there sitting by the pond enjoying the great experience also.. and I saw your banner in front of your truck so I went on your channel and I saw you made a video of the solar eclipse, little did I know that you made a video and I could see myself in the background of your video😎👍

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Oh... that's pretty cool... and such a small world. Thanks

Dim is the word I used to explain to my grandson

Thank you for effort you put into this, and the excited emotions. Wonderful!

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@user-ek6mf8jn6m]

So glad you were able to see it. I got to experience the total solar eclipse of 2017. It was one of my favorite experiences of my life. Thanks for sharing.

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Oh wow! So cool. It's funny but we were in Alaska for the eclipse of 2017 & 2023.

[@edwardantrobusjr2253]

So many people took the day off to see the eclipse, that freight was scarce. I sat in my truck all day, ( watching KZbin) waiting for my dispatch to find a load for me. I never even looked to see what time or if I'd be able to see it in Wilmington, IL, I missed it.😮

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

grrrr...but thank you for being on standby to keep the country running. I hope this was the next best thing.

[@sandraimschweiler]

Thanks for sharing! We didn’t have anything in the Tampa area. 😎

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Unfortunately, a little too far south for this one but excited you were able to experience this RARE event with us.

[@lindacox8156]

What a treat for all your listeners‼️‼️I agree with you SondraTHANK YOU for letting us experience this with you‼️‼️‼️👍😊You captured ALL OF IT - it was hard to find words to describe what happened‼️All the cheering and horns honking was so FUN!!!😮I am saving this video to watch again‼️😊👍❤️💙‼️

When we had the total eclipse in 2017 in Wyoming, my husband and I packed into the Wind River Mountains and experienced it at 11,000.00 Boy talk about being cold, Sandra wouldn't have liked that. Our dog was freaking out but the other animals were just chill. I am so glad you were able to experience this. And I love your channel!!
