Title: Anyone else in the path of the eclipse?
Post by: MushCreek on August 09, 2017, 03:45:02 PM
We're right in the path of the solar eclipse happening Monday, August 21. I've never seen more than a partial before, and am told it's really something. The missus and I took the day off of work, and plan to relax and experience it. Hopefully, the weather cooperates! There starting to make a big deal out of it here, with law enforcement recommending people don't drive during totality, as others will probably stop in their tracks. Lots of hype, and a few rip-offs starting to surface. Anyone else gonna see it?

Not this one. I was in the direct path of one a few decades back.  It is very cool to experience.

It is an awesomely wonderful experience
Last one was around noon as I recall
the birds roosted
the dogs bayed
a bit of a rush of wind
creepy cool

This one is a bit north of us, Madras OR

Lotsa warnings here about the influx of sightseers

I'm doing all I can to tell folks the nearest and best is in Idaho...

Just awesome! Hard to describe, really. 100% here, and we just got past totality when a cloud bank moved in.
