I get the part about being in a cool location. That applies to any time of the year. And of course I could guess your hobby from the URL of this site. But are the "shadows over all the peaks" during a solar eclipse really going to be all that different or interesting?
I'm curious because I'm trying to decide where I want to be on 21 August 2017.
