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.

Detailed info about path of the Eclipse through the US.  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.  I bought mine here for about $1.50 to $4 each, depending on the quantity ordered.  Free shipping.  The glasses arrived within a few days of placing the order.

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.

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!

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.
