Anchors Away! Next Stop - Everywhere!
1/31/06: Patrick AFB, FL: We arrived at Patrick AFB, which is next to Cape Canaveral and the Kennedy Space Center, a couple days ago. We plan to spend a week or two here. There's plenty to do and see, and I'm sure Connie will be tired of Space Museum's before we leave.

This is another RV rally for members of the Elks, and a yearly event wher...

I've also written a general article on our experience a...

We're parked right on the edge of the primary landing area for the balloons with our huge front window facing the landing area. Although there were a few hot air balloons flying this morning, the scheduled events don't start until tomorrow evening. We'll attend "chase crew school" tomorrow...
