Start looking for a boondocking site: eclipse (Aug 21 2017)

It's never too early to plan that trip!

Path of totality

  • Our yard? Actually, it looks like we are about 30 miles south of the center line.
    - East of Madras in the high desert. Great star watching too. But in August it will be pretty warm out there.
    - Jef. Park (backpack in about 7 miles to a awesome alpine basin at the foot of Mt. Jefferson) Might be huckleberries then too. Also, good star gazing.
    - The Oregon Coast. Might have fog or low clouds that time of year.
    - Pine Mt. Observatory (won't be total, but I have no doubt there will be lots of star parties up there. Sun River Observatory too.
