I would be happy to attend a do if the probability of reasonable weather was good. This seems like a nice excuse to visit a new place in the US. However I would prefer somewhere near an airport, not a campsite in the middle of nowhere. This is largely because I prefer not to drive for hours and hours unless I really have to.

I dimly remember watching the total eclipse in Cornwall in 1999, it was completely cloudy right up until a minute or so before totality.
