I bet the local businesses are enjoying the rush.

Wow! We plan on driving about an hour south to view. There is a small town about 2 hours South that is expecting 40k people. Very small town with only 3 businesses and 2 part time police. I have a feeling we will be stuck in our driveway Monday with all of the traffic. I plan on shooting video of the chaos. :-D

Why specifically Prineville, OR? There are a whole lot of places in the path across the U.S.
Be yourself; everyone else is taken.

Recreational marijuana?

Just a thought.

That area seems to be without smoke from our forest fires.

From CNN:

(CNN)About 600 residents were evacuated Friday in a prime eclipse-viewing area in Oregon because of a rapidly growing wildfire.

The Milli Fire began Tuesday and has since burned about 6,888 acres just 9 miles west of Sisters, a town in the path of the total solar eclipse, according to Central Fire Info.
As of Friday, the blaze was zero percent contained, fire officials said.
Immediate evacuations were ordered for residents near Sisters -- where people will see 34 seconds of "totality" on Monday --- as the Milli Fire continues to push to the east. An additional 1,085 people were put under a pre-evacuation notice, county officials said.
As the "Great American Eclipse" approaches, the fire has become one of the state's public safety priorities.

Wow, Oregon fire evacuation? A town in Oregon was on the news last night and a logistics event organizer person was hired 2 years ago for the masses. Guess she has a new job with the evacuation. Too bad for the town and the area.

We plan on going South about 1 hour to an event on fairgrounds. Food trucks, bands, etc. will be there. Gates open at 10am, but thinking we may need to leave much earlier to get in line. The St L news is reminding people not to stop on the highways or block the road shoulders.
