Any members along the total eclipse path?

Finally found a pair of eclipse glasses so I'm planning my route. Plan is to head out of Chicago at around 5:30am to ride the 350 miles or so into the path of totality. Traffic may force me to a different viewing point, but my goal is to make it to the aptly named "Ozark, IL" in remembrance of physics_teacher who was so looking forward to seeing this celestial event.

Purchased glasses on Amazon that were fake. Luckily, we found out before the eclipse. We are about 35 miles from totality and I am going to Craters of the Moon to watch the event.

a chunk of glass out of a #14 welding helmet is the ticket
that is what I used last time still have it

I am going to an ADVrider's 5 acre wooded backyard in the southern tip of Illinois
bout 30 of us so far. could be a beer festival
