Albany, Oregon will be in the path. Something new for all of us and the school summer programs are promoting in a good way for the kids. My Granddaughter is very excited at age four.

Yes. And I won't even have to move to see it.
But even sooner than that, tomorrow at around 8 to 9 pm local time the Earth will move to completely block the sun for many hours, something that won't happen again for 24 hours.

Solor eclipses are predictors of great swarms of pests. In Oregon’s case it will be Californians.

Too bad it’s not happening in the daytime when you could see it.

“3,900 kilometers per second”
Pretty sure that’s per hour.

Yep, and I'm at ground zero here on the Central Oregon Coast. A lot of concern about the gridlock that will be occurring the entire weekend prior to the actual event.
There's only one way in and out of our area: Hwy. 101 North or South. In some areas the highway is only two lanes.
The Oregon Coast commonly experiences morning fog in August - there are scenarios of everyone trying all at the same time to get the heck away from the Coast and head East over the Coast Range to where the sky is clear.
We locals are just anxious for it to be over.

Great post and so very true.

Back in 2015, my husband arranged a business trip to coincide with the total eclipse in Germany. Umbraphile indeed. We will be traveling to try to see this one. It is dicey though, when you consider the likelihood of bad weather obscuring the eclipse. Hopefully we can make it to an area of totality, and at the absolute right time.

I had absolutely no problem getting a hotel room last week, for the path of totality in Tennessee. I didn’t stay in Nashville, though. I don’t like big cities.
