Anler Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 Yeah we are keeping the kids out of school to see it. We are going to stay local which will only give us about a 90% viewing. A bunch of our friends and neighbors are headed south to St. Louis or Carbondale to get the full effect. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oregon... you can legally smoke weed before, during and after the eclipse and have over 2 minutes in totality in the path. They have been partying hard at some eclipse festivals all weekend already near prineville. http://katu.com/news/local/state-and-federal-agencies-mobilize-for-eclipse-saturday-traffic-lighter-than-expected 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burning man is a drug infested orgy type art show in the playa in Nevada in the middle of know where. Crazy crazy shit happens out there for in the desert.... it's a pilgrimage out west for many acid, and lsd using hippies that have nothing better to do beside get wasted and dream up some artsy shit and build it to haul it out in the desert and get wasted while looking at all the crazy shit people brought and a then use a shitload of drugs and have orgies... the eclipse festival in Oregon would be a good warm up for the burning man.
