Congratulations to Mike Baer on his completion of the county HPs of Rhode Island.  Mike finished the Ocean State on October 15, 2015, on Pocasset Hill in Newport County.  According to my records, he is the 76th person to complete Rhode Island.

Thanks to John Mitchler for forwarding this information.

His first name is Yvon.

(When i did my undergrad work at UCSB i would pop down to the Chouinard
shop in Ventura several times a month to buy seconds. I had many chats with
both him and Tom Frost.)

I only count five: ID, WY, TN, GA, and SC.

OR, NE, MO, and NC are close, but no cigar. Mts. Hood and Mitchell are
too far north; Panorama Point and Taum Sauk Mountain are too far south.
Consequently, these high points will see a deep partial, not total,
eclipse (99.7% for Mt. Hood, 97.8% for Panorama Pt., 99.9% for Taum Sauk
Mtn., and 98.4% for Mt. Mitchell).

Make no mistake: A deep partial solar eclipse, while dramatic, does not
compare with a total solar eclipse as a visual spectacle. As an
astronomer, I strongly encourage everyone to do whatever it takes to see
this eclipse from the path of totality. For the large majority, it will
be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

You want to be as close to the centerline as possible. Almost doesn't cut it. Next one visible in the U.S after 2017: April 8, 2024, with a path from Texas to Vermont.
