Eclipse general

I work at Grand Teton and it's all hands on deck that day. We'll be sacrificing tourists on a ritualistic alter so that the sun comes back to us.

You're welcome.

Literally no one cares about the eglibse

California fag here. I won't see nothing huh?

>>1080932
Im going to my cabin innawoods where no one else will be.
>get welding goggle
>realize they are only #10 and not suited for looking at the sun
Fug. Guess i will take my welding helmet.

i live in nashville so probably taking a little trip to new orleans to get away from all the sunfags

>>1081123

Californian here, planning on going up to Jefferson Mountain and camping in the woods. Never been innawoods like this before, so I'm kinda spooked. Have you guys gotten your eclipse glasses yet?

>>1082718
yup. just got them on monday. took a couple hours driving around san jose to find some.

P.S. Sacrifice the Californians first.

Bring it mother fucker.

I'm camping out on a ranch in Oregon to see it in it's totality. In a motorhome.

Getting my ass to Wyoming, can't wait. Leaving tomorrow to backpack around beforehand

>>1083202
well shit, idk where the fuck else to go then. I need a place to sleep. Should I just bum out in a parking lot or something?

>>1082721
Where did you get them? I'm really behind on finding a pair

>>1083413
Syllabus week doesn't matter in any respect. Not an excuse

>>1081113
I have read that numerous places and don't really get it, if it provides 100% uv and ir protection shouldn't a number 10 be alright? I was thinking about hitting up the welding shop and grabbing a number 12 replacement lens and using that...I can't get my auto helmet to trigger from the sun, so it definitely won't trigger during the eclipse.

>>1083461
academically, no, but realistically the first day is one of the most critical to attend

nice. my school doesn't start 'til the 28th, but somebody had to point out to retard boy that he's a retard, and i turned out to be the lucky one.

>>1083202
I guess i wont need those glasses with the smoke in the air then right? I'm going to try and do some disperse camping near three fingered jack. I've done quite a bit of back country camping on forestry roads in canada and I was curious what exactly the rules are for disperse camping in america? According to the forestry website it says I can camp wherever i want and as long as i'm 100 feet from a road or trail. Is this correct? I'd much rather do that then try and find some cramped as fuck campsite full of newbies.

Yep, you sure won't see nothing. You'll see a partial solar eclipse, which is something, as opposed to nothing, see?

Pic related. Even if you're as far south as San Diego, you'll still see it.

>>1083659
>I guess i wont need those glasses with the smoke in the air then right?
According to Vandy, don't assume the clouds will suffice as a filter for viewing the sun without the glasses.

Gonna be in Seattle so I'll be able to see the partial, no complaints.

>>1083401
Well in my town they are temporarily letting people camp in public parks to make the round up and executions easier so just check around.

>>1082718
If you're still around and haven't found a place yet, there's still spots at a place called R+D Ranch in Madras, not far from Mt. J. I'm staying here, it's pretty mellow for the most part, even with other people nearby.

Driving down to Idaho tonight, going to do Borah Peak early tomorrow morning then see the eclipse.

Should I drive to Wyoming from Denver to see the eclipse? I'd probably go tomorrow morning and drive back... I came to this thread and everyone seems to be camping out the night before, though. Am I dumb for just driving out and back? I guess it's a waste of gas. And traffic would suck. Damn, I should've thought this through.

Upstate NY here....gonna be on Lake George fishing all day so I'll see from the water whatever a partial eclipse looks like.

>>1085438
Pretty much, but considering there's no other place for those normies, it boils down to this:

How bad do you want to see this eclipse?

For me, my RV is level, and a few hundred bucks doesn't mean shit to me. Took me only 4 hours to get here. Money comes and goes, I've got plenty, but an eclipse is kindof a rarity. Would cost me much, much more than that in travel expenses to go see the next one, or one in some other country.

20 years from now I won't miss that cash one single bit, and I won't have to regret missing this eclipse. Win-win.

>>1085567
I live a few hours east of there and just have to go outside. And no, I don't think it's a waste of money if you have plenty. Are you there now you must be burning up? How is Madras?

>>1085589
I'm from Quincy, in Wa. It's more of a desert than this place is so I'm quite used to the heat, thought it is warm here today. Beautiful weather, really. Hoping tomorrow is equally as nice. I haven't been into town at all and I don't plan on visiting, at least not for this event. Normally I'm quite antisocial and I hate crowds and people in general but I figured I'd make an exception for this particular celestial event. All I'm missing now is someone to share my beer and weed with.

If looking at the eclipse is bad then why don't animals end up in the emergency room?

>>1085766
I drove up from a small town that's about an hour south of Sacramento, CA. Pretty hyped to see it eclipse in totality. I need to figure out if I'm safe to sleep downtown. Google said that there'd be periodic clouds around here iirc

Madras is looking clear as well.

>>1085780
Are you blind and did not see the map, or are you just that incredibly slow??

You're at the front row to the show, nigger

I've got a question for any Salemfags in here. Am I fine sleeping in my car in downtown?

>>1085784
> still find /out/ to be the friendliest

I was debating even coming until today when I managed to convince my manager to let me switch schedules. I only took a quick glance at a map because I don't mind trekking more if I have to. Looks like I got lucky. Also. If that other Corvallis nigger is camping with me, stop circling my tent or at least five me a blowjob.

Flew to Fredericktown Missouri in a cessna 172. We were going to fly into Perryville but we were running low on fuel and we didn't want to deal with the pilots yelling at eachother over landing order. Ended up watching it with some locals there. Around the totality the night beacons started going off. Fun time, looking forward to seeing the next total eclipse in 2024. Pic is of the windsock lighting up during the totality.

Didn't get any good pictures. Here's the shadow coming from the west, seeing the eclipse pass over was neat.

I had my camera take like 300 pics, one every 15 seconds.

Fucked up he focus ring a a bit during totality when I removed the filter. Ooops. Oh well, was too preoccupied with just watching it.

Great time. 11/10.

> desire to meet up with other sc/out/s for next eclipse intensifies

Watched from the forest in central Oregon, managed to find a perfect clearing and had 100% perfect skies for the entire event.

Was absolutely incredible. Truly awe inspiring and surreal, tough to even out into words how amazing it was to see. I had my binoculars with solar filters and the corona and prominences were fantastic.

10/10 would drive 1,000 miles for the next one.

Not sure, but as a burger eating and burger loving burger, I've had my trip planned for some time, just like I'm already planning my 2024 excursion. You're just jelly's all.

drove up saturday, drove home monday right after the eclipse, went way east through nv to skip the i-5 bullshit.

None of these pictures do it justice. I feel bad for anyone that didn't see it in the totality belt. I honestly couldn't believe how surreal it was.

Not worth taking pictures of it without a telescope, honestly. I didn't bother. Cool enough just to see it and let the guys with the right equipment take the pictures.

i wonder if we passed between caldwell, id and where 95 splits off i-80.

i noticed a big drop in traffic at winnemucca, the i-80/95s split, and reno. but fortunately even when horizon to horizon was cars i was still almost always at/above the limit.

Was anyone else in the traffic clusterfuck that was Kentucky after the eclipse?

>>1086846
Literally everywhere was a traffic clusterfuck.

>Grand Teton NP was at Defcon-5
>Not as many showed up as we thought and everyone was relatively well behaved

We kept bracing for impact but it never got bad. It actually all went incredibly smooth.

>>1086769
Even the professional images dont really capture it correctly. You need to see how big and beautiful it is against the dark blue sky.

>>1086859
There's no doing justice with any pic I've ever seen when it comes to an eclipse. There's a unique atmosphere to it, a unique feel...hard to describe if I were to try to tell someone who had never seen totality. Seeing an eclipse is one thing; seeing the totality of a total eclipse is on another level. Quite literally god-tier. Touches something deep inside, primal, something I wasn't at all aware of. Until seeing it. Breathtaking, emotion-stirring, incredible and amazing. Can't wait for the next opportunity.

>>1086856
sorry to be pedantic, but defcon 5 is complete peace. i believe you meant defcon 1, or imminent nuclear war.

Same here, actually.... radio network.

System handled everything without incident. Lots of vehicle traffic management calls, but overall it wasn't nearly as big as I expected.

defcon describes a readiness level, not an actual activity level. so if they were at defcon 5 they would have been at minimal staffing, with no expectations of crowds.

>it feels much bigger in person.

It is bigger in person. The black structure is the size of a full moon and the corona extends out even further from this. The reason why it shows up smaller in most pictures (especially camera phones) is because they use wide angle lens which tends to reduce the size of celestial objects.

I actually took the 6 through nv and then the 93 up into twin falls. I also had good driving speed coming in. Lots of cars but everyone was hauling ass.

After the eclipse, we went north while 95% of the people went south. Took us an hour to get back to mccall.

Today we leave McCall and go to hagerman ID for 3 days before driving back through NV to Mammoth.

Spent a whole week on this trip.
4 days in Fernandina Beach for a conference, then one day in Savannah, then three days in Columbia until the eclipse, then drove home Monday evening.

Only about 850 miles round trip.

H-hey, at least I got to experience an eclipse during a thunderstorm.

Queens NY to Dixon springs state park. 2k miles round trip. Would do it again in a heartbeat.

We primitive camped in the national forest on some sandstone bluffs, about a half mile in. Brutal weather and haul, but beyond worth it for not being around ANYONE. Zero noise, complete solitude. Perfect.

It was perhaps one of the most beautiful surreal experiences a person could ever have, in my opinion.
I was able to see it from a mountain top in Idaho.
