[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is the closest place e to DC to see the eclipse?  I'm looking to drive down to see it in a day, Spend one night in a hotel and drive back the following day. [/quote]

From my other post:
[quote]As for traffic, according to the guy here at NASA, the solar physics team has been in close contact with several other groups including major traffic centers to determine the impact. They are estimating that around 10-25 million people will be trying to travel to the path of totality. With nearly 100 million people living within range, and standard traffic even from those not trying to see the eclipse, the traffic mavens have said this is likely to be a major traffic day. Treat it much like you would a major holiday travel conditions and allow extra time to travel anywhere in the region of totality. From the other thread, the person who was thinking of just “driving down the day of the event” to see it would probably need to leave before 4:00am to make it for the approximately 2:42 pm event, assuming travel time of around 6-7 hours.[/quote][/quote]
