For months, ODOT has warned that the eclipse would lead to the "biggest traffic event in Oregon history." ODOT recommends travelers leave early, be patient and be prepared.
traffic was backed up for 30 miles in Prineville...

We had a solar eclipse in the UK in March 2015, we were advised not to look directly at it and everything just went dark for a while. I did look up to see the sun covered, and it was impressive to an extent but not worth travelling thousands of miles to see.
A 5 hour trip to totality, 94 % where I'm at. I wouldn't deal w/ the traffic, gas & hotel issues. Rather watch Weather Channel. Lots of parties everywhere. Beautiful event.
My co-workers think there will be a full eclipse in CA. I don't think so. They have the power of the internet at their fingertips, yet not a single one went online to see what time and where exactly the full eclipse is happening. It's happening in Salem, OR at 10:17 AM, so a partial eclipse here, yet they were all freaking out at 10 AM. They are driving me nuts!!

No photos, but it was really cool. It only was 73% here I think and overcast but we still got some good views in the patchy clouds, I was kind of surprised how cool it was considering it wasn't totality and having to wait for clouds to move. Glad I ordered filters, wound up handing them out to friends and even a grocery store employee
