I've got 10 acres of land that fell in the path of totality and was afraid the hordes were going to trash the land or worse, start a fire, so I invited a pile of Overlanders to Mesa Idaho to camp out and help occupy the land.

Pretty diverse group coming from all over the west and out of the 9 rigs that made it, some stuck in OR due to traffic, only the Sprinters were duplicates. Great crew and while I didn't charge, I was gifted some fantastic craft brews and a fried chicken.

My BF and I were there a few days before the folks showed up and it took only an hour for the neighbors to call the Sheriff and next day the Fire dept. and Chief. As we are the landowners and were doing more fire mitigation than the neighbors, both shook our hands and wanted us to build there to join the Indian Valley VFD.

We had a protocol of folks stopping at the road for a good 15-20min to cool the tailpipes, etc. Down, then charged the line as they took their spot just in case. Also cut down the area used. Neighbors left tall grass going right up to their houses. I hope they never have to deal with a firestorm.
