I would just like to make a few points here. Being a veteran of two total eclipses these are things newbies should be aware of:
Buy good solar shades, don't buy cheap ones.
Use a hat and sun block.
If you have never seen a total before, don't bother using a camera until the end of the eclipse and try for the diamond ring.
Do not look at the sun after 2 seconds of the diamond ring at the end of totality. You will be causing damage lookng longer.
Be prepared for cloud. It is a good chance that cloud will be about on that morning. If it is clouded over don't be too disappointed. There are other eclipses to chase.
Enjoy the big show.
As for accommodation I will be staying with friends up there. Best of luck with bookings.
