G2G: X Marks The Spot!

Question

If you live in San Antiona, Texas USA, then going to the local cemeteries will be especially delightful  on Saturday, October 14, 2023 and on Monday, April 8, 2024.  While searching for more profiles to add to WikiTree, the heavens will entertain you with a celestial show not to occur again in the USA until 2044! .On the map, you can see where X marks the spot!  So lets all head to the cemeteries these days where the path of the 2023 and 2024 eclipse falls!  (I had to keep this post genealogy themed)

Answer 1

We already have a spot booked to watch the 8 April 2024 eclipse, visiting a niece whose home will be in the direct path of totality about 25 km from Niagara Falls.

Niagara, Falls!  That will be nice!  And very busy!  Between St. Louis Mo, and Indiana, there are a number of Draper burials that would nice to visit.  There are about 90 Draper burials in Baltimore Cemetery in Wayne County, Illinois, right on the path!

We will actually be in Welland, Ontario, small town, small house, big yard, no trees.

Answer 2

I'm going to miss the Oct event due to prior obligations. April could be better for diggin up bones. Where should I plan?
