Eclipse2017.org's goal for
eclipse day is for everyone to watch the eclipse -
simple as that! We plan to inform everyone -- school
administrators, mayors, governors, radio and TV
stations, members of Congress, DOT officials, local
police agencies, immigration officials, and anyone else
we can think of -- about the nature of this event, and
assist in any way possible with planning, logistics,
communications, etc., to make this a fun, enjoyable, and
safe event for everyone.
There will be a lot of effort involved on the local
level to pull this off, and so, we'd like for anyone who
feels they can help - through the volunteering of their
time and talents - to contact
us. Your help will be greatly appreciated!
Examples of things you can do to help include
letter-writing, serving as a local information liaison,
web site design and maintenance,
webcam/photo/video/webcast expertise, site scouting...
The list is endless! Even if all you do is share the
information you find here with someone else, your help
will be vital in ensuring that everyone has a safe and
fun three-day eclipse weekend! (That's right - the party
starts Friday night, and continues straight through to
Eclipse Monday!)
So where are we going to be? That's not figured out quite
yet. Unlike the upcoming eclipse of 2024, this one doesn't
touch our home state - so we can go anywhere we want! Here
are some very good choices:
The beach
in Oregon or South Carolina
Grand Teton National Park (or anywhere in Wyoming
along the path!)
Nebraska (with its GREAT weather prospects!)
Land Between the Lakes, KY
Downtown Nashville, TN
Any of the FIVE state capitals in the path
Smoky Mountains Nat'l. Park (though watch the
weather!!)
The campus of BYU - Idaho (in Rexburg)
Anywhere in the path of totality!
