Total Solar Eclipse 2017

We have an Eclipse coming up in a few weeks and I am surprised how may of my friends don't understand what is going to happen. I am reading a book called American Eclipse. It is not about the one coming up but about one in the past, in 1878. The book is not just about the Eclipse but about the Science behind it and how this event helped put the United States into the forefront of scientific research.
The author, David Baron, described his first Eclipse in these words," For three glorious minutes, I felt transported to another planet, indeed to a higher plane of reality, as my consciousness departed the earth and I gaped at an alien sky. Above me, in the dim vault of the heavens, shone an incomprehensible object. It looked like an enormous wreath woven from silvery thread, and it hung suspended in the immensity of space, shimmering. I felt something I had never experienced before-a visceral connection to the universe"
I have seen Total Solar Eclipse. It is the most amazing experience I have ever had. It is not anything thing a partial, an angular or a lunar.
Do yourself, your family, your children your friends and go experience this event.
I am not going to tell you where, but I will give you a hint. Look at a map of totality, and you will notice it passes through millions of acres of eastern Oregon. Not close to highways, hotels etc. Look at a road map and will find countless roads that head east and then north. Get up early and go! You will not be disappointed.
