I would recommend some QTH between Wenatchee and Spokane, WA. Most of that area is high country,and not subject to coastal climates. ID is just acouple hours' drive away, in case you decide to visit. Trouble is, I don't know if Wenatchee is east enough for the eclipse path. I'm pretty

It takes perseverance and luck to view a total solar on land. Murphy rules the weather on those days. My wife and I have been extremely lucky to have been on four successful eclipse viewing sea cruises. The extra mobility of a ship helps. For this August, we've booked with an alumni travel group

Have you picked a place in Oregon yet? It sounds like you prefer the eastern part of Oregon or Idaho but for Oregon as a whole, this map shows you those areas of total eclipse. http://www.eclipse2017.org/2017/states/OR.htm And, for Idaho: http://www.eclipse2017.org/2017/states/ID.htm A

Hi all, My wife, son and I are planning to drive to Oregon or Idaho to view the solar eclipse on August 21st. Hotels in the rarified Zone of Totality are either sold out or price-gouging. We booked one 50 miles outside the path, just in case, but we'd love to find an AirBnB room or other
