Let me try and counter that with an awesome memory:
Witnessing my first (and only) total solar eclipse. Weeks of planning ahead for the event. A friend even drove all the way out to the "perfect site in a deserted area" to see if we'd be able to camp there from the day before, as the eclipse was to happen early the next morning. (Google Earth wasn't a thing back then, btw.)
On our arrival there a few days later, we discovered the whole area cleared and practically taken over by NASA! We managed to find a spot to set up camp, though.
The eclipse was awesome. Well worth the effort.
I remember that recent one too (2016 was it?)
Didn’t get as good of a view as you sounds like but that was a distinct memory for me too, was a very cool day

Can't remember the exact date, but it must have been at least 20 year ago.
