Mark, there was actually a pretty big local story about this. 

Several people like us booked early at the regular rate, and when the Lincoln City Liberty Inn manager found out about it he tried to jack up our room rates to $1000/ night. Complaints were made to the Oregon Attorney General's office and KGW-TV in Portland, which slammed that manager (and others who were doing the same thing) both on live TV and on their website. It was a negative publicity nightmare for the motel managers. Eventually they "decided" to honor the original booking rates (out of the kindness of their hearts).

Well, I'll be in the middle of the zone of totality on the Oregon coast at 
Lincoln City, Mark (along with Ruth). Who knows-- maybe the TP or DU 
carriers will be rejuvenated a little by the return of darkness? 

It should be an interesting weekend. The motel rooms in Lincoln City are 
going for $1,000 a night that weekend, although we got the regular rate by 
booking over a year in advance (to the great consternation of the manager).

What role will FSLs play in the solar eclipse? Gary?
