Total Eclipse...

oh yeah... it's happening! Tomorrow morning!


Unfortunately, or maybe not, Cannon Beach, Oregon... where I am... is NOT in the band of Totality.


However, youngest son will be in Corvallis, within the band to see the total eclipse for just over a minute.

It will make its way across the country over the course of a few hours, but it hits Oregon first, at approximately 10:18am!


And that is just a little too early to gauge whether there will be fog or morning clouds on the coast!

I had planned to hike Neahkanie Mountain to see what I can see, but I am tired from working long hours, and 6 days a week and am not looking forward to the 3 mile hike up! (and down). I had shared it with the Meetup Group as an Event, and had one person say they were coming.... but now they have backed out, so I think I am going to the Port of Astoria and see what I can see from the Columbia River, where there may not be fog, and maybe a strong wind to blow things around.... thereby making some holes to see through!
