It looks like totality runs right through Casper Wyoming. :^)

The 1979 eclipse was heavily clouded out here in Vancouver. It was a
deep
partial eclipse here, and it got really dark: the street lights came
on. But
that was about it. There have been some partial eclipses since then
(most
recently in 2002), but it's just not the same. The next total eclipse
here is,
according to Fred Espenak's web site, 2 August 2771. I doubt I'll see
it. :-)
I already have 21 August 2017 blocked off in my calendar at work
(probably
eastern Oregon), though I'm sure I'll see a solar eclipse somwhere
else in
the interim. When I got back from Turkey last year (my first total
eclipse),
I promptly ordered a copy of Meeus's book and have done lots of number
crunching. I've drawn some pretty pictures with the mapping software I
use at work.

Most places on the lee side of a mountain range like the Cascades should
have good chances, especially since it will be mid-morning before clouds
have a chance to build up. On June 8, 1918 a famous mid-Saturday afternoon
eclipse occurred over Baker, OR, beautifully painted by Howard Russell
Butler*, and written about extensively in Mitchell's Eclipses of the Sun.
That book has to be the best of all when it comes to comprehensive
descriptions of eclipse adventures.
* I did a search on him and came up with this excerpt:
"At the age of sixty-two, painter Howard Russell Butler was invited to join
a U.S. Naval Observatory expedition to Oregon to chronicle the solar eclipse
of June 8, 1918. "As a portrait painter," he wrote in Natural History
("Painting Eclipses and Lunar Landscapes," July-August 1926), "I generally
asked for ten sittings of two hours each. But all the time they would allow
me on this occasion was 112 1/10 seconds." His finished painting eventually
graced the Hayden Planetarium's rotunda."

You're just aware of that now? :-) Welcome back! Another lost soul back
from the dead!
Mike Simmons and I were planning to meet in east/southeastern Wyoming where
I think it'll be the best chances for clear sky at 10:30 AM.

Well I'm up for that!

You mean Mike never invited you??? That BUM! ;-)
We planned this because it turned out we were both fairly close to each
other observing the 1979 eclipse in Washington. Of course we didn't know of
each other then.

Ahem. Um, Howard, you know I have a network of spies watching for people
taking my name in vain, don't you? Expect a knock on the door from a
couple of swarthy gentelmen late some night.

Not that there's anything wrong with that. ;-)
I was at the Solar Eclipse Conference last weekend
(http://uk.geocities.com/solareclipsewebpages@btopenworld.com/SEC2007.html)
and of course there was some discussion of 2017. It looks like a very
broad area of the US can expect good weather. Mobility will be key, as
always -- climate is what you expect, weather is what you get. While
unlikely, a total solar eclipse and tornado is possible!

Could very well be clear along most of the track. I'm just more in favor of
the drier climate and wide open spaces of the intermountain west, and
particularly on the lee side of the rockies in general. That includes far
western Nebraska.
The centerline also passes through the south end of Jackson Lake, and I bet
the Tetons would make a spectacular backdrop.

Sort of like our strategy of going to the east side of the Cascades in
1979.

No kidding. There should be lots of good backdrops available through a
great deal of the track but that could be the best. I think it's time for
us to plan a little scouting trip. There's less than 10 years left!

BILL!!! How can you SAY that??? MY interest comes and goes a LITTLE bit,
but never VERY far... I'm not only still here, I visit the group several
times a DAY!!! Don't say as much as I used to (probably a GOOD thing), but
I'm here, if, and when, I can help... But I DO have a support group, and
it's headed by Howard and Sasquatch Lester... Well, the 'squatch is
probably better known on rec.birds, but still, were it not for them...

Well, I did follow that up with the intimation that, at such a gathering,
we'd have the opportunity to permanently remove some offensive
