It took a few hours to get there from Pasadena. We went in two cars, and one, an old Pinto, had engine trouble near Joshua Tree, but was able to drive to a local mechanic, whose diagnosis was that the engine had just "seized up." He did fix it, and we went on to Joshua Tree, where we stayed until dark. I saw the Milky Way for the first time then.

When I was much younger & going to college at UCF, some friends & I decided to take a trip to Cape Canaveral to watch one of the Space Shuttle launches. So we packed 7 people into a 4 seater & off we went. The launch was scheduled for early morning (I don't remember the exact time, but I'm thinking 5 am), so we parked on the side of the highway with the shuttle in sight just across the inland waterway from us. It was a great location & tons of other people had the same idea & were parked all along the causeway. Well, we proceeded to have a nice party while we were waiting, but we all tried to get some sleep by 2am - some outside on the grass & some in the car (I was in the car). But the weather had other plans & a downpour started at around 3:30am. Being in the car, I was nice & dry...until 6 wet people crammed in with me... But we made the most of it & decided to stay up for the rest of the night singing songs (badly) & telling jokes/stories. Until the appointed time - they had a big countdown clock that could be seen from our location... The excitement grew T minus 10 minutes! I set up my camera - tripod - 250 mm lens - all ready to go... T minus 5 minutes... Snapped a few pics (this was 35mm - well before digital, so previews, but I was confident in my skill). T minus 1 minute... I could hardly hold my excitement in! T minus 30 seconds... Oh Yeah! I was ready! T minus 21 seconds...and holding... huh? What!?! T minus 21 seconds and holding... About an hour later we hear on the radio that the mission was scrubbed...they saw a leak of some sort... I never did get back to see a launch & now they won't even let you get that close without a pass. =( Oh well, it was a fun trip anyway. Road Trip!
