Start looking for a boondocking site: eclipse (Aug 21 2017)
It's never too early to plan that trip! Path of totality

A couple of things to consider: if you choose an observing site near trees or leafy plants, be sure to look at the ground under them during the partial phases. The gaps in the leaves create thousands of pinhole camera images of the crescent Sun. Also, you will need eye protection in the form of Mylar shades or, my favorite, welders glass of shade 13 or 14. I use 13.
Also, a lot of people actually miss the totality itself because they are so busy trying to record or photograph it. Just lay back and enjoy the experience, there will be plenty of professional photographs and videos available afterward. For most, this is a "once in a lifetime" event and should be seen through your M-1A eyeballs to be fully appreciated.
