23 years ago, I worked for a woman who ran an adult bookstore(just north of Wash. D.C.). One day, I read her a news article about the buzzards returning to Hinkley. "Wow!" says she...and next day, jumped in her truck and DROVE to Hinkley to see them!

Turned out, her 'real' hobby was eclipses of the sun, and she has been to 8-9...one in Canada she went to on her motorcycle.... one on a cruise ship...one in the middle of the Sahara desert...etc...seems you meet the same people over & over on these things....kinda like going to folk festivals!
