I just completed a 4 week, 8700+ miles, 36 state trip to the north and
eastern seaboard (completed my bucket list of visiting all 50 states). I
saw a total 12 Westys on the road. Four were in Maine but the rest were
west of the Rockies. However, while driving up to Seattle from Portland the
other day I saw 5 on I-5. I will be returning to Portland tomorrow then
head out to some family land outside Molalla, Oregon to camp with 20 other
sun-gazers. As long as the weather holds out this will be my second total
eclipse.

Have fun all and be careful out there!
