Re: [emrat:9948] Eclipse 2017

I second this - I definitely encourage everyone to get as close to totality as they can - it's truly a rare opportunity.

Camping might be your best bet, though.   I booked my room a year ago and it was one of the last rooms available in Cheyenne, WY.

If you didn't know, on August 21st, there will be an eclipse viewable by everyone in North America.  The path of totality will follow a line from Oregon to South Carolina.  I had intended to take a vacation day for Monday the 21st, ride up on Sunday and motorcycle camp. My son has seized the opportunity to miss a day of school so I am now driving with the wife, son and dog. Current expectations are that traffic is going to be a cluster suck getting to and from the path of totality on Monday the 21st.   This is a once in a lifetime event, if you have a chance to view it.  If you decide to stay in Denver, the moon will provide about 93% coverage of the sun

I will be camping out near Alliance, Nebraska at the venue of the Alliance Toad Stock Festival.
