The Yamaha-Enduro forum, from one of the members.
"We are dead center here in Casper, WY, and all the hotels have been sold out for over a year. People are Air B&B-ing their houses for up to $8,000 a night...I kid you not. But at my house, we will have a dozen astrophysicists and astrophysics majors, as my older son just graduated last year with an astrophysics degree, and he is bringing up all his classmates and fellow grads from CU Boulder. They are bringing all sorts of cameras, telescopes, and other instruments with them, and I would gather can answer any question I might have.
My wife is in the Wyoming Symphony, and they have a big pre-eclipse concert planned, and there is hoopla left and right to scalp the tourists. LE here figures we may have an extra 35,000 people in town; our normal pop is about 55,000.
Me? I just wanna sit on the porch and watch it get dark."
