The committee is now forming to find a suitable virgin to shove into the volcano to get us favorable launch conditions for this event.

Zooming in on the NASA website shows the path of totality to pass the northern edge of Fogarty Creek SP.

Whoa! That day of fishing sounds too cool to pass up! In addition to the novelty of kayak fishing through a total eclipse, there is the possibility of getting two morning bites and two evening bites in one day!
But keep in mind that those involved in throwing a virgin into a volcano will miss that day of fishing. We need to research whether there is a suitable sacrifice which can be performed from our kayaks, such as pouring alcoholic beverages into the water, which will ensure that the sun reappears from behind the moon.
What tides are anticipated on the day of the eclipse? Having the moon and the sun perfectly lined up ought to do something to the tides.

I was thinking east of the cascades if there is any chance of clouds. Brownlee look good.
Depoe Bay would be pretty awesome if it's not overcast.

Wow, that is seriously cool. I'll be there if the conditions work out.

Do you want to be the first one to Facebook/Live Tweet the darkness or the last?

I'm on neither, so it'd be just the family and me. But in reality we'd all rather be in the backcountry AK fishing natural run Coho that time of year.

Camping reservations to open Nov. 17, 2016 for eclipse viewing at Oregon State Parks
Salem OR -- Starting November 17, 2016, state park campers can make reservations for campsites, yurts, and cabins to enjoy the August 21, 2017 total solar eclipse. The normal advance campsite reservation window opens nine months before the first night of a visitor's stay, but a temporary change to the reservation system will affect people who want to make a 14-night reservation, the maximum allowed in Oregon's State Park system.
The state park system accepts reservations nine months in advance, but it would normally be possible to get a reservation for Aug. 21 by booking the maximum 14-night stay on November 7, 2016. Given the expected high demand for sites around the eclipse, and to prevent overbooking that could interfere with other visitors' summer vacation plans, state parks along and near the eclipse path will not accept reservations for Aug. 17-21, 2017 until November 17, 2016. This is ten days after OPRD's standard rolling nine month reservation window would normally allow a camper to make a long reservation.
On Nov. 17, 2016, the normal rolling nine month window will resume for all sites that accept reservations at parks along and near the eclipse path.
"We made this change to accommodate all visitors, both those planning for the eclipse and those who are planning an unrelated camping trip," said Chris Havel, Oregon Parks and Recreation Department spokesperson. "We encourage eclipse campers to extend their stay with us for a day or more before and after the eclipse to reduce the congestion on the roads."
The Nov. 17 reservation opening date applies to the following campgrounds inside the path of totality--Devil's Lake, Beverly Beach, South Beach, Silver Falls, Detroit Lake, The Cove Palisades, and Farewell Bend.
Campgrounds that are up to 30 miles outside the path of totality are also affected by the temporary change to reservation rules: Beachside, Cape Lookout, Washburne (yurts only), Honeyman, Nehalem Bay, Stub Stewart, Champoeg, Milo McIver, Ainsworth, Memaloose, Viento, Deschutes River, Tumalo, LaPine, Prineville Reservoir, Lake Owyhee and Wallowa Lake.
OPRD is making plans to temporarily convert first-come, first-served state park campgrounds to reservation-only for the eclipse, so additional campsites will be made available at a later date.
"We are also working on ways to open more state park areas to camping for the event," Havel said. "We want to make sure people can make solid plans well in advance to avoid congestion."
Customers can make reservations for any stay that includes Aug. 17-21 beginning at 12:01 a.m. on Nov. 17 at oregonstateparks.org.
Campgrounds run by the US Forest Service will start taking reservations six months in advance, in February 2017.
The eclipse will begin at 9 a.m. and end at 11:30 a.m. on Aug. 21, 2017. The 60-mile wide path of totality--when the moon completely blocks the sun--will last for about two minutes starting at 10:15 a.m. on the coast between Newport and Lincoln City. The path of totality then sweeps through the state and on to Idaho, then runs across the United States toward South Carolina.

In less than an hour, every campsite, yurt and cabin was reserved, according to OPRD's Twitter feed.

I'm going to LOL if it's completely overcast/cloudy.

:o
Not all that surprising I suppose. Too bad it's not a Saturday in July. We could have shifted ORC to match up.

Don't try to get a place in Huntington. Every rental has been rented since last year by universities and the high school is charging for tents on the football field. They are expecting tens of thousands of people there. Should be fun. I might be out on Brownlee catfishing during the event. That would be pretty cool.

I've got family in Payette. Very likely I'll be around. Gotta stake out a spot on shore, not sure where yet.

Post up or message me if you make it out. I live in Vale and I can usually get "end of the world days" off. Or I drag up for a day. Same deal.

Are there any souls brave enough to venture down to the path of totality and a ways offshore? Or is it just my dumb ass?
-
I'm not going anywhere near the coast during the eclipse window. You think traffic is nuts in Portland....
-
Argh.....eclipse talk! I'll be in my motorhome in Gleneden Beach for 4 days so I don't have to drive all the way to Depoe Bay!
