The Oregon Natural Desert Association (ONDA) has published some good tips on staying safe while visiting Oregon to view the 2017 Solar Eclipse... It's worth reviewing.

The link for the Oregon Dept of Fish and Wildlife maps is very useful. Great resource for figuring out public lands access.

Here's the link for the ODFW public lands/access map - http://www.oregonhuntingmap.com/#/map

The article mentions this but eastern Oregon, especially in the John Day River/Blue Mtns area is notoriously bad for cell service. Very rugged with many valley/ridges eliminate line of sight to cell towers very quickly. Trying to arrange via cell a rendezvous or reliably use cell based map apps should not be depended upon.

Perfect terrain for WTW types....
