It looks to me as though the bigger issue will be securing a suitable viewing site. Totality is just 14 degrees above the horizon and the partial phases lower than that. I really don't want something or someone blocking my camera at crunch time.
It's likely that the accessible viewing sites will be occupied from the night before and the morning of the eclipse isn't a good time to be searching for a new site. IMHO, somewhere to sleep is secondary to somewhere to view from.

Steve.
