Cindy Clark remembers seeing the 1979 total eclipse. She was 7 years old at the time and was instantly hooked. Since then, astronomy has become more than a hobby, it’s a lifelong passion. She and her family, who live in Bonney Lake, traveled to Oregon to be in the path of the annular eclipse in October 2023. Now, the same group is traveling to Texas to see the total eclipse on April 8. This is a trip she’s been planning for years. She looked at the path of totality and researched which region typically has the best weather in early April, settling on Waxahachie, Texas.
