Fay,
I did a bit of research and it looks like the eclipse will be visible on the west coast on August 21, 2017.
http://eclipse.gsfc.nasa.gov/SEgoogle/SEgoogle2001/SE2017Aug21Tgoogle.html
If you click on Satellite view and enlarge it you will see that Jim Hupy is going to have a front row seat!
How about we plan an Alaska tour so that the return trip coincides with the timing of the eclipse and we descend on Jim's and Judy's
home en masse August 20, 2017! VBG :->
BTW the blurb below the map states:
"This interactive Google map shows the path of the Total Solar Eclipse of 2017 Aug 21. The northern and southern path limits are
blue and the central line is red. You MUST be somewhere within the central path (between the blue lines) to see the total phase of
the eclipse. The eclipse is longest on the central line (red). The yellow lines crossing the path indicate the time and position of
maximum eclipse at 10-minute intervals."

Rob,
Woudn't mind waiting till next year, but the summer of 2017 is when the
next total solar eclipse visible on the west coast is going to happen. Been
waiting a long time to see one of those, so don't want to miss this one!
And I am afraid of what the cost of gas might be if I wait until 2018.
However, I still have to replace the trani I roasted and check the rear
brakes, so maybe this year might not happen.
