Thinking of flyint go central MO to see the eclipse

A normal mid-day there has about 50% sky cover of cumulus, so I'm thinking of flying at 8000 ft and enjoying the view.  Anyone else doing something similar?

I considered that but my autopilot is inop, so instead plan to fly down that morning to Perryville MO, which offered a free "reserved spot" for a tie down. It may be a zoo, so up in the air might be preferred.
