It's always a shit show. I drove to S Illinois in 2017. 6 hour drive in, 17 hour drive home I hated it. But worth it.

My experience wasn't quite that bad, but still sucked. It took about 4.5 hours to get to my perfect spot. I left within an hour or two after the eclipse was over, and then it something like 8+ hours to get home due to excessive traffic.

It wouldn't have changed my choice, but I would have appreciated a warning that post-eclipse traffic could/would be extreme because it wasn't something I had even thought about. Figured it might be a little heavier, but wasn't expecting that much.

So this time around, I've mentioned it to folks who are planning to travel to see it.
