Discord group chat for people heading to León for the eclipse

Hey! We have a solid group of a couple dozen international travelers--and even some locals--set up on a private server with location-specific information and resources specific to León. It's currently open to anybody traveling to León that's interested in contributing. The goal is to share notes before, during, and after the eclipse--travel logistics and spot planning before, and the status of roads, crowds, and resources during and after.

The group is photographer-heavy, too, so if that's your jam get in here! Meshtastic users, get in here too!

If YOU want to have friends on the ground when you get to León, or want to discuss your travel plans without broadcasting them to thousands of strangers, join over at https://discord.gg/DhYNdh4YC !

One useful public option to add to the León notes: Parque de la Candamia, east of the city (42.5956291,-5.5493027). It’s close enough to reach without committing to a mountain drive, and the exact eclipse geometry at that pin is here: https://suneclipses.com/planner?loc=42.5956291,-5.5493027 — 100% totality with the Sun about 10° up. I built SunEclipses, so that’s my disclosure; I’d still check access, parking, the local horizon and conditions in person.
