honkwins: Jun 24, 2011; a high-protein meat alternative

my partner and I got married on Borah Peak in Idaho during the last one (which was in the path of totality) and it was 10000% worth it

from our experiences:

if you're driving around somewhere rural, traffic back towards civilization afterwards will rival LA rush hour. have enough gas, snacks and water in the car, etc.
temps will drop noticeably (and quickly) during the eclipse and will take a bit to warm back up after
buy eclipse glasses now, the price on them will get exorbitant the closer it gets to the eclipse
if you're going to be somewhere in the wilderness, be aware that a ton of other people are too. if it's some place that requires permits, campsite reservations, etc, have a backup plan. Borah had like a dozen park rangers at the trailhead and some on the mountain so don't expect to be able to skirt the rules

those are the things that immediately spring to mind
