It's worth it to me. Every person I've ever heard speak that has been through a total eclipse describes it as an incredible experience. The next time I'll have a closer option will be 30 years from now.

Have you checked into Hiawatha's doings? There are some small NEKS communities that will experience a total eclipse that may not be crazy like the bigger towns with amenities.

At 100% you can actually take your glasses off and look at it. The sun's so bright, even at 99% it doesn't get completely dark, so you don't see stars, or the sun's corona. |

Best map I have found
https://eclipse2017.nasa.gov/sites/d...map/index.html My post from facebook Information on the Eclipse-Aug 21 I plan on being in Missouri for the full eclipse-but anyone should be able to safely see the partial eclipse here. Here is some information: Total eclipse path-https://eclipse2017.nasa.gov/…/f…/interactive_map/index.html NASA page- https://eclipse2017.nasa.gov/eclipse-maps Animations of every state and what they will see-Here it will be about 80%. I am mentioned on that page too. http://shadowandsubstance.com/2017/2017e.html You may still be able to find solar viewers but you should NEVER look at the sun directly, here is a page to view the eclipse without looking at it. https://eclipse2017.nasa.gov/2d3d-pr...project… or https://www.timeanddate.com/ecl…/mak...projector.html or watch it online https://www.nasa.gov/eclipselive

I'm going to my cousin's farm just west of Troy. I thought driving up on K7 would be a good option, but it appears both Leavenworth and Atchison are having big events. That, along with everyone else going further north, might be just as crowded as any other route/destination.

I have a buddy that lives outside of Casper, WY. that is renting out his pasture for the damn thing. The guy is going to make bank. I know some people in Idaho Falls and Jackson WY doing similar things. The guy in Jackson is renting out his condo for 3k a night. I mean to each their own, but I just can't get my give a crap meter going for it myself.
