The penumbra starts at about 5pm ET, the full eclipse is about 3 hours later. There is a good description at

I'm going camping tonight.

But it's not the most propitious time. We'll be in a canyon, so even though we're in the great outdoors, we'll miss the eclipse as it's very low on the horizon.
It's also downright butt freezing cold in Southern AZ right now.

If you live around the same longitude and want to get a good view of the total eclipse, be sure and get an unobstructed view of the horizon. And if any of you fellow blowhards have a little hot air to spare ...... sopla un poquito en esta direccion, por favor. - Stephanie
