CASPER, Wyo. (AP) — Landowners in unincorporated Natrona County looking to make some quick cash by renting out their property to campers for the solar eclipse this summer will have to get a permit from the county.
KTWO-AM reports (http://bit.ly/2m7MmOZ ) that the county said Tuesday that it will issue free permits in order to regulate landowners trying to share space with people visiting for the Aug. 21 total solar eclipse.
Natrona County Development Director Jason Gutierrez says the camping permit will help the county ensure sites are meeting health and safety standards.
Central Wyoming is anticipating anywhere from 20,000 to 50,000 visitors during the week before the eclipse as it will cross directly over the state. The entire state is expecting about 350,000 visitors for the eclipse.
