Harvest Host and the eclipse...

Question

Just wanted to share a recent experience. I really, really, really wanted to go see the eclipse and thought I had successfully arranged a place to stay more than once, but each time it fell through.

After another forum member shared about Harvest Host, I decided to join for a year. Less than 48 hours after signing up, I received an email advertising a member host which happened to be right on the totality line, and was offering dry camping, along with various entertainment for the weekend leading up to the event.

I got my spot!

What will you do if the moon gets stuck in front of the sun and it doesn't get light again?
Are you prepared to drive home in the dark? :B

I wanted to see the eclipse but, the kids start school on the 23rd. That's cutting it too close for us.

Enjoy, it should be pretty cool

As luck would have it, we live in the path of the eclipse.  If you are coming to, or in Wyoming for the eclipse, there is a lot of BLM land you could dry cam on around Shoshoni, WY.

We love Harvest Hosts. We joined about a year ago, not sure whether it would work for us. We've used it several times, and each time has been a unique and fun experience. Glad you joined, and glad it will work out for you!

Shoshoni is further than we were hoping to go but I wanted to check out what is available. Unsurprisingly the BLM has an eclipse page https://www.blm.gov/solareclipse and all their reservable sites are booked. Anything else is first-come-first-serve and I wouldn't be surprised if your area was packed well before eclipse time. Also, if they have maps of the area, I couldn't find them (and that DID surprise me).
