I spent several hours earlier this year looking for places to stay in the
path of the eclipse. Within 500 miles, they were all either booked up or
over $500 a night. There was a farmer out in the eastern oregon area
renting field space on AirBNB for $175 a night. That might be our best bet,
if it's not full already.
