That's what happens when it's hot in the Willamette Valley. And why everyone heads to the beach to cool off!
Instead, I'll get up early and drive south to Salem, have breakfast then stand outside with my viewing tools. When it's over, I'll head home.

Better start early Donna (I know you'll be up). The OMSI website had this note posted: Travel time: 'The current estimate to travel from Portland to Salem is 2.5 hours. (Oregon is expected to see over 1 million visitors for the solar eclipse.)' We're headed down to the OMSI event with the grandkids, I think we'll start really early and take some chairs and books, just hang out until the event then maybe find someplace to poke around until the traffic clears.
