For a phenomenon that traversed the country from the contentious southern border to the far reaches of New England, Monday’s eclipse attracted remarkably few conspiracy theories or accusations.
From where I stood, in Buffalo, the major threat to the moment was a forecast of heavy clouds.
Perhaps I was too primed to seek meaning, having found unexpected significance in the last major eclipse to cross the country, back on Aug. 21, 2017.
I wanted mountains, rock structures, landscapes and vistas that would give me that sense of This Too Shall Pass, and the planet will still be around.
We decided to spend 10 days in South Dakota, starting at Mount Rushmore and ending in the Badlands.
