Re: Trip to see the Eclipse 8/21/2017 Sorry about the fires. It seems like an annual occurrence out there. I had to contend with them on one of my trips. They are expecting big crowds north of Nashville. I have canceled going to several airport along the center of the path due to the...

Re: Trip to see the Eclipse 8/21/2017 I tel-a-commute from Tn working for ODOT. I work on some of their software used to manage acft registration for Oregon. They expect over 1mil people to come in the state. ODOT is worried the infrastructure will not be able to handle it.
