Any updates on other GMC'er's plans??

time is running out, and now I think I need to figure out something, so I can get plane tickets bought. Just wondering if anybody found some great ideas or locations?


The problem is where. Every hotel and campground that's anywhere near the path sold out long ago.
Oregon Parks claims they're going to open up their 1st-come-1st-served parks to reservations just for this event,
but they've given no indication on when they're going to do that. If the midnight reservation fiasco
of the reservable parks is any indication, if/when they do open it up, they'll be sold out in minutes.

BLM land is a possibility, but given the estimates I'm seeing for attendance, it's gonna be a zoo
pretty much everywhere. We're talking tens to hundreds of thousands of people descending on the
more popular areas. (better make sure your gas tanks are full before you get there...)

With no reservations, it's pretty much a crap shoot, and you could easily find yourself in an area
with nowhere to legally camp. (I already pity law enforcement and first responders...)

Unless somebody knows of private land where we could camp, and then maybe shuttle to the totality path if necessary
(though that itself could prove difficult given the crowds), any kind of group gathering is going to be pretty much impossible.

just my .02.
