As all of you know, by now, there will be an amazing Total Solar Eclipse this summer in North America stretching from coast to coast, and basically from 10 AM to 2 PM local time, from west to east.
An estimated 75 million people will be less than a half day's drive away from totality.
My family and I will be in Missouri that day, prepared to zip east or west in case of inclement weather.
Do you plan on observing this event?

I'll be camping and kayaking at Suttle Lake near central Oregon with family for a couple of day's prior, then driving up to hike one of the scenic trails around Mount Jefferson and Three Finger Jack to camp which is very close to the eclipse path the day before the eclipse.

Looking forward to it, it would be my first total solar eclipse!
