Watch out for that bear! More importantly, check the weather. I'd hate to travel all that far to sit under the clouds when it occurs. Wouldn't you?

I'll probably be at work, here in SW Michigan, might be able to catch part of the eclipse.

CPT Jack Durish from work. No way in hell am I traveling more than I need to those days here in Columbia, MO. Totality occurs about 5 miles south of here & the town is expecting a 5 digit influx of people that weekend. It's going to be a madhouse, I tell ya. A MADHOUSE!!!!

Home, or rather in the Field behind my home where I will have a clear view of the 80 percent we will have

CPT Jack Durish, we'll be viewing the eclipse from north area of East Nashville, so I expect to see it at virtually 100%!

That would suck if it was cloudy! If that did happen to be the case though, at least it's only 50 miles away from my hometown.
