Looks like some of us, completely cross the nation, are going to get a solar show we probably won't forget. I realize this event is a year away, but for any of you extreme planners, you might like to have some advance notice.
I stumbled across this while mindlessly cruising the internet today and am quite pleased to know I won't be very far from the "TOTAL" event. Greenville SC is as good a spot as any for me this time around and it's 1.5 hours (or so) away. Last one I experienced was in the late 60's and it was just dark enough for the street lights to come on. This time I should be able to make the drive, even though it's on a Monday afternoon.
Xavier Jubier has developed an interactive Google Map that gives really great details of the event and which cities will be in the "total" range and the time of event. "Partial" information is also covered, starting in Oregon and ending at Charleston SC. Be sure to read the info in the link below as it will explain how to convert the Universal time to your own local time.

Now I just gotta score some of those nifty solar glasses.
