Anyone going to see total eclipse?
Hey guys. I'm in Monterey right now for the Pebble Beach car shows. I'm going to drive tomorrow evening in a N NE direction to see the total eclipse then continue driving home to NY. I'm looking to go, depending on time and traffic, anywhere between Jackson Hole and Matheur National Forrest. Where are you guys going? Maybe I can meet up.
Best,
Gene

I'm going to sit in my backyard where I'll see about 97% of the sun blocked by the moon. I'd though about driving down to Oregon, but it looks like it's gonna be nuts with all the traffic and everything.

No worries, the umbra is passing right over my house so I'm just gonna sit back and enjoy the spectacle (this will be my 3rd total eclipse I've experienced!)
Oh and for those who won't be seeing a full eclipse, this is for you

You'd find a way to inject politics into somebody telling you to have a nice day. Don't you ever tire of seeing everything through politics? Don't you ever give it a rest?

Carol-Jean and went to see the eclipse. We left on Saturday and returned Tuesday. We saw it from a spot at an alpaca farm north of Redmond, Or. Just as totality hit we saw a great diamond ring effect. During totality we watched the corona, and then got another diamond ring when totality was ending.

My Wife, 2 oldest Sons and a Friend rented a Mini-Van and drove to Northern Oregon and hiked a long trail to a mountain ridge the night before. Awesome photo's of the milky way and the Eclipse the next day.....

Going to the one in 2024 that stretches from Texas to Ohio, I take it? If you do leave tomorrow or Saturday, you might just make it in plenty of time.

Joe, since you're a charter member of the Procrastinators Chapter are you planning to be at the XXX (my daughter thinks it's the "Three kisses") on Sunday? Or Monday...whenever it is?

I think it's on Sunday and I do plan to be there sometime before it's all over. Or at 7:30 a.m., whichever comes first...
