I have a few very similar photos. I was in Cape Girardeau Illinois.

To give you an idea of how crowded it was, the hour long drive down there took us two hours not including half an hour to stop and use the bathroom. 29 minutes of which was standing in line to use the bathroom.

The drive back took 3 hours. We detoured up to Columbia instead of going in to St Louis before heading home. My friends went straight to St Louis.

It took them closer to 5 hours.

Lol

Cape Girardeau, Missouri.

Did you go to one of the big parks? Any areas around the main 5-6 city parks was a shitshow, I drove by them after the eclipse to charge and noped out of there real fast

Most of the locals went to community parks like Kiwanis, Twin Trees park, or the Trail of Tears

I went to a truck stop before I even got to the city. There was a big grassy hill behind a gas station and maybe 500 people hanging out in the area.
