I would start looking at town websites now. I was going to wing it or look for something next week, but one of my bosses informed me that everything he'd already looked at in the areas he was scoping was sold out or grossly inflated. I had a specific town in mind, found their website, and found that they've turned pretty much everything on its ear for the eclipse. They've even informally changed their name for the week. It seems every place in this little town is charging to use parking lots. Even the public parks are requiring reservations. Nearly everything was sold out except for a nearby country club and the parking lot of an old outlet mall. I opted for the outlet mall lot because it was "only" $50 a vehicle, we can pack a picnic lunch/snacks and will have access to vendors and a carnival (which means porta potties). My dad had suggested the city about 35 miles south of the town we're going to, but most of the cities are expected to be really bad. Based on travel booking data, San Antonio already declared a state of emergency for the eclipse. Either way, that town website gave me the bulk of the info I needed to hopefully make this a more pleasant day. Dreading the drive and praying the traffic isn't too awful
