One of the side attractions, of dropping off my son at college in Idaho this week. Is that the next couple of days we get lots of traffic with every one coming to see the solar eclipse, my Dad's house is about 5 miles from the center of the totality, but there is going to be so many people coming in, it may get crazy, and this dry hot heat, I'm not used to it either.
But at least I hope I don't get stuck in traffic, to many times
Might even break down and buy a t-shirt, the things we do for fun, if any one is driving to see it, be safe and have some patience with the entertainment, that you may come across

Good luck and have fun !!!;thumb;
We're not directly in the path but the schools are getting out early tomorrow {?:-??} I guess if the kids are going to unofficially peek at it the schools don't want to be responsible... You know how things are in today's age of over-reaction...I don't remember ever getting off school for this stuff...We all made/bought our own viewers and emptied the students out into the field to see...
