Somewhere in the belly button of America.

My PNR reads MOON upside down.

Interesting fact: The eclipse is expected to knock out 9,000 MW of solar generation. This is more than what the entire NYC uses on a typical summer day. It is about the highest the entire PSE&G (NJ) has EVER used at a time.
Feelings don't care about your facts

I'm an optimist; but only because life isn't going to give me any other good choices.

Yeah, last-minute thing.

Where do you plan on being? I'm aiming for the KS/NE/MO border area, choosing a final spot based on clouds.

So if it's cloudy on Monday people are out big bucks for flights and hotels. Too bad there's no eclipse insurance...

What's that famous saying about DOs? "If you build it they will come?"

The DO will be easy to find, I'll probably be the tallest thing on the prairie for miles around.

Well other than that what 7 gazillion people seem to have the same idea, it seems good.

I'm not sure what the odds are of cloud cover, I'll wait for @Something Fishy on that one
