For those going to see Eclipse

I had been planning on going and seeing it for years. But after reading the reports of the potential crowds, I decided it's not worth it. Being in California, the places to see it that are easy to drive to are not population centers and don't have the roads to handle tens of thousands of cars. I can see the potential for it to be a madhouse, so we'll being doing a week at Lake Tahoe instead.

I'm so pumped about this event! Been working on it as a surprise for my hubby's birthday and can't wait for the big reveal in a few days. I'm one of those staying in a hayfield ($30/night) in Nebraska with several other dry campers. NASA scientists are staying in the farmhouse next to the hayfield, we have exclusive rights to view the eclipse on another part of their their property which is 1/4 mile from the centerline, we will be less than 10 miles from Homestead Monument where NASA has events from August 18-21 and much more. It'll be hot, dry, and crazy and it can't get here quick enough!

Made my reservations back in November (location not disclosed) and DW always makes sure the chuck wagon is stuffed with food!

10's of 1,000's of eclipse worshipers from other countries are coming here to view it too! Just crazy.

In some towns especially the towns near what is deemed the "best" spot to view it.....they have issued emergency warnings to residents to fill up on food, water and gas before the eclipse because of the huge influx of people expected to descend to view the eclipse which will be apocalyptic!



Perhaps the second coming of Woodstock revisited?!

I know a group that planned a rally a year ago park owner didn't really think the Eclipse was going to be such a big deal. Now the farmer down the road is charging $100.00 a night for dry camping in his cow pasture.
