So, in 354 days, on August 17, 2017, the US will have a total solar eclipse cut a broad swath across the US, starting in Charleston and running an arc up through Oregon.

The map
So, I'm thinking
Camping Trip, Grand Tetons (directly in the path of the eclipse.) - catch the eclipse during the day, and get an amazing view of the western high altitiude night sky complete with the tail end of the persied meteor shower as well as some amazing views of the Milky Way. And maybe, just maybe, if we're really lucky, the Northern Lights as well.
(examples of the Milky way as seen from the Grand Tetons below)
so. who's in?
PS camping, bitches, non of this 'omg outdoors ewwww I need a cabin' bullshit.
