I'd be up for option 1. Just how wide is the 'centerline' (meaning the area where the annulus will be viewed as a distinct ring)? It must be at least 10s of miles wide, no? Will there really be thousands of people going to the area of total annularity - especially when the eclipse will be visible from the Salt Lake Valley? In other solar related news, there is an ISS solar transit this Sunday morning at 10:07 in Northern Utah. I'm hoping for clear skies and a well-timed shutter to finally knock this item off my astronomy bucket list. Map at http://maps.google.com/maps?q=http:%2F%2Fwww.calsky.com%2Fobserver%2Ftmp%2Ft...

If being a few miles of centerline means avoiding crowds that is where I will be!
Option 6. Do Bryce Friday and/or Saturday then drive to Kanarraville for
the eclipse. Drive home after the eclipse. Got to be on the centerline for this.

At this point, I think I will/should support the Astronomy Festival at Bryce, so I vote for option 2. Does option 3 make much sense? Seems like a lot of driving to get a tad better view of the eclipse. But what do I know? A tad better view may make all the difference! It would if one was imaging, but viewing? Thoughts?
