Those wanting to catch the eclipse at its first landfall will head to Lincoln City, Newport and points between. There’s no shortage of sandy beaches and forested vistas here, all perfect for sky gazing. And while it can’t be guaranteed, chances are high for good eclipse viewing conditions since cloud cover tends to be partial to zero in August. More
