Anybody making arrangements to see this event ? I've always wanted to witness one first-hand, and this will be the best opportunity in our lifetime. I'll be heading to a favorite motel at the Western end of Iowa. I'll then drive in to Nebraska to the totality zone. I'm heading West instead of Tennessee/Kentucky to reduce the odds of an overcast day. It's my understanding that SE Michigan will see 80% totality.

Here's a map to peruse with some details..... https://eclipse.gsfc.nasa.gov/solar.html
