Hi folks.. hoping someone out there who has intimate knowledge of this can help me out.. My buddy and I are always looking for excuse to ride the slab and this year we decided that if the timings worked out great we would make a run down the I95 from Houlton Maine all the way down to Florida to catch one of the Shuttle or rocket launches from the 'where ever it is called that they launch stuff into space from".. the name of the place escapes me right now.. too cold, too much snow.. However, we're the type that hates getting lost in a huge thick throngs of a crowd and were wondering if there is a location we could aim for to the north of where the launches are that you could still see the rocket's red glare, sounds and maybe some of the vibrations.. We're thinking that because everyone and their dogs are going to be crowding the general area with the same idea of taking in a launch, we would lodge a few hours to the north, ride south, see the event, and mosey on back to the north where we lodged for the evening.. If you've been to see a launch, and know of a location north of the launch pad, that would allow a couple of Canucks to ride in, view the launch and escape from the thick crowds, please do drop me a line.. Failing that, if you know of a better idea, let me know.. How's THAT for an excuse for the first BIG ride of the season =)
