Nice ,
love mtns, we are thinking to move west, i was born in Carpathian Mtns, this flat area around Great Lakes is boring without horizons. I don't know why vimeo seems to better preserve quality than YouTube, i use both;
Casper,WY is just in the middle of the total path, should be dry and clear this time of the year, i'm driving very often on I-25 to Alberta; the longest darkness to be achieved around Carbondale ,IL; Once in lifetime experience, worth the effort to experience it. I was on board of Dawn Princess Cruise Ship, in Aruba during total solar eclipse february 26 1998. We had a special eclipse watching cruise , hundreds of scientists and hobbyist astronomers passengers on board with all kind of hi-tech tracking photo/video gear all over the decks.
What impressed me the most and i'll never forget, was the cooling of the atmosphere for 2-3min during total darkness, temperature dropped 30 degrees quickly . I still have the eclipse glases, all the crew and passengers got it free just for safety.

http://time.com/4882923/total-solar-eclipse-map-places-view/ Canon der Finsternisse published in 1887 by Theodor von Oppolzer predicted it, over 130 years ago with stunning accuracy !
You can see the eclipse in question, labeled 2017 VIII 21 meaning August 21, 2017.
