Now its time for me to share my favorite experience of all time… and not just when it comes to Omorashi. Even if I hadn’t had the chance to indulge in my fetish, I still would have enjoyed it immensely. This takes place over the course of three days, last year in August, during a major event… Care to guess what event that was? Should be easy enough to guess. No? Okay, okay, I’ll tell you: The Great American Eclipse Peeclipse– Part 1 I had only seen a total eclipse in videos and images before. Space was one of my favorite school subjects when I was younger. But I hadn't given thought to watching an eclipse before. Nor had I realized, until only several months beforehand, that there would be one within driving distance of me. The fact that I would be able to see one without traveling great distances or crossing international borders was all the motivation I needed to plan a getaway for myself, and possibly anyone who wanted to join me. So, I began to make preparations. Originally I was planning on making this a one-day trip. The center of totality was just over 200 miles away. I figured that I could go into work early, easily make it there, watch the eclipse, and head back to finish my shift, with approval from my boss. Then, a stray thought crossed my mind, that suddenly snowballed into this: “Good God man, what are you thinking? Do you think you’re going to be the ONLY person to go see this?” Then, the magnitude of what I needed to plan… eclipsed me. This was not going to be a one-day trip. Everybody and their mother, MILLIONS of people, were going to be traveling into the path of totality. Worst still, when that was over, a great number of those people would be jamming every square mile of the streets and Interstate between me and my home. The fact that the path of totality stretched across the entire continental US was perhaps the only thing that made it possible for me to travel there with only months preparation in the first place. Perhaps on the way up, it wouldn’t be so bad, as everybody trickled in from hotels and were perhaps already staying in their destination. But the way back would be Hell. Still, after much research, I figured that I could easily give myself a full day to return home. But I made this a three-day trip, to give myself time to breathe and enjoy myself for two days before the eclipse. I invited some friends and family to come with me, but they declined, convinced that viewing a partial eclipse would be enough. I tried to convince them to come with me, even though it would deprive me of an opportunity to do literally what ever I wanted in my own privacy. I wanted to share the experience with someone. Still, they either thought a partial eclipse was good enough, or they were otherwise too busy, or unwilling to accept my admittedly meager accommodations for the trip. Because I was unwilling to rent a hotel room for several thousand dollars anywhere within 30 miles of the line of totality, I settled for sleeping in the car on the eve of the eclipse. For the night before, however, I was able to arrange a hotel room somewhat close to my destination (which I shall keep a secret for privacy's sake) a couple months beforehand. Not cheap, I can assure you, but I could afford it at least. My destination was in rather remote territory in the Western US, north of a major city, or at least as major as it gets, but in a better position in the line of totality. The weeks went by, and I put together a list of things I would need to take with me: Clothes for four days (not three), several pairs of eclipse glasses, toiletries, emergency medical supplies, a blanket, a pillow (I wanted to be at least somewhat comfortable sleeping in a car), some reading material, my phone charger, and a week's worth of food and water. Just in case I encountered car trouble, I also brought a multi-tool, and an air pump, after checking every inch of my car over entirely. My second, much more guarded list included some things dedicated to the pursuit of my more private endeavors. Some diapers, for instance. Remember when I said the trip back would be Hell? For most people, it would. But I saw an opportunity to indulge in desperation while stuck in severe traffic. In addition, I brought along some personal crafting projects I was working on. I got everything non-perishable together the night before my trip, and loaded them. I was scheduled to work on the Saturday before, so I had to deal with that first before departing. Day One Upon waking up, I put all of my perishable items into a cooler with bottles of ice, put it in the car, and drove off to work. Upon arriving, I took everything out, and put everything in the fridge and freezer at work. Better to keep everything as cool as I possibly could before I departed. I worked my shift, which was until the middle of the afternoon, then repacked my cooler. Upon leaving work, I drove to the nearest gas station, to top off the tank one last time, check all of my automotive fluids, and my tires. After verifying that everything was in as good of shape as it could be, I got out my GPS, set my MP3 player to my favorite playlist of Anime songs (Japanese, of course), pulled out on to the highway, and began the journey of a lifetime...
