I think there is already a discussion about this somewhere. But I'll be traveling already made plans to stay with relatives who live almost directly in the path.

I'm going to wait until I can see the forecast, but I expect to see it somewhere reasonably close to Oklahoma.

I'm excited about it - I want to spend the occasion at Lida Summit!

I saw the one in France 15+ years ago, but it was cloudy. And I saw the annular eclipse in Northern California a few years ago.
Looking forward to this one, and visiting a few friends in Oregon while I do it!

Too far for me. I'll just have to live with only seeing a total eclipse of the heart.

Excellent excuse for a trip to the Wind River Range.

This is one of the better websites I've found on the subject. www.greatamericaneclipse.com/I also understand getting as close to the centerline of the eclipse as possible can significantly extend the time of totality, which is common sense, if you think about it. |

I'm just hoping to get past the Ides of March. You long term thinkers have always amazed me. For me, it's one Friday at a time... |

Take the path closer to the edge, especially if less traveled

Nothing can beat the time I flew my Lear jet up to Nova Scotia to see the total eclipse of the sun.  |
