You worked so hard to find those eclipse glasses and it would be a shame to throw them away after two and a half hours of eclipse fun! Hang on to them and take them to Nampa's newest trampoline park!
As we were leaving church yesterday, part of me wanted to drive past a few of these locations to see just how much of a zoo the stands were as people scrambled to get their last minute eclipse glasses.
We're just days away from the total eclipse on Monday, and already, Oregon has seen intense traffic trouble. We're expecting it here too, and ready to help you navigate your way around it.
Over the last few weeks, we've been following the influx of tourists who are coming for the total eclipse on Monday. Another result of the unusual demand? Hotel prices are insane!
I'll be honest, I was late to the eclipse party. I run a small business on the side and it wasn't until I was making some "glow-in-the dark" eclipse t-shirts on Thursday night that I decided I wanted a pair of glasses to check it out.
From gas stations, to clothing retailers, to breweries, to wineries...everyone is trying to make a quick buck off Monday's historic total solar eclipse. Some of the souvenirs have found their way onto the national stage.
As the Treasure Valley and Gem State prepare for the influx of tourists for the eclipse coming Monday, it's probably no surprise this will be impacted: Gas prices. They're going up.
