Jim & Alice Posted April 29, 2017 Report Share Posted April 29, 2017 We will be in Rapid city, SD for the Summer, so we hope to get over to Caspar, WY during that time... or down south of Rapid, to where the totality path seems to track. Gonna be a great opportunity! Jim 2007 Dolphin Safe-T-Plus Steering Bar Our Blog: Click Here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al F Posted April 29, 2017 Report Share Posted April 29, 2017 Planning on boondocking in central Oregon with our 2 grandsons and their parents for the eclipse. We should have 1.5 to 2 minutes of total eclipse where we can take off our solar viewing glasses during the total eclipse duration.

Click on the state and then on the small image of the state for a detailed view of the path through the state. Be sure to buy Solar Viewing glasses.

LindaH Posted April 30, 2017 Report Share Posted April 30, 2017 We're planning on boondocking at a place in Idaho we've stayed at before. We're just hoping it won't be jammed cheek-to-cheek with others who have the same idea! LindaH 2014 Winnebago Aspect 27K 2011 Kia Soul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray,IN Posted April 30, 2017 Report Share Posted April 30, 2017 RV guide to the 2017 total eclipse has a partial state/area listing of campgrounds in the path of the eclipse. We will be near Clarksville TN. Viewing safety glasses are required, or #14 tint welding glass. Viewing glasses are available free from 2017solar.com This state-by-state listing may help locate a spot for ideal viewing. 2000 Winnebago Ultimate Freedom USQ40JD, ISC 8.3 Cummins 350, Spartan MM Chassis.

We're just hoping it won't be jammed cheek-to-cheek with others who have the same idea! I am assuming any easy to find and get to boondocking spots will be pretty busy for the eclipse. I figure we will just put up with the noise and lots of people around. Just like being in a busy campground on a holiday weekend. I am planning on us getting to a boondocking spot about 7-10 days before the eclipse to be sure we have the spot we want for our son, DIL and grandson's and whoever comes with them to enjoy.
