I imagine UHP will have some opinions on were people can park on that stretch of highway. I have driven on that stretch of highway, I don't remember a lot of pull offs.

Why don't you Google earth it?
Did that. That long stretch of highway that follows the centerline out of Newcastle looks promising on Google Earth but there are mountains in that direction too.
Brent Sorensen with SUU is advising the folks in Cedar and Kanarraville. There was a meeting yesterday specifically for the eclipse with him, the mayor of Kanarraville, the Tourist Bureau, sheriffs office, BLM, EMS and, oh yes, sanitation <g>. So it sounds like they've got things covered.
Regarding the meeting, they sent me a copy of the agenda entitle "2012 Annular Solar Eclipse meeting". My favorite line read: "Basic Eclipse Information (and why should Kanarraville and Iron County care!)"
You don't have to be right in town do you?
Personally I'd prefer it be away from downtown to avoid crowding. But not too far from a port-a-pottie...
