The first night is always full of anticipation.

I drove 785 miles this weekend.

But then I met the team that rolled in from Pittsburgh with a trailer full of rockets.

  2. The desert at night is wonderful, made even better by being with a bunch of friends.

  3. See this in full resolution… the stars are spectacular. More, more…

  4. All these are so good, I want to favourite them all! Love this one – sense of anticipation and that modern nomad look.

  5. I keep wondering if there is music playing.

  6. funny you should ask…. Sarah McLachlan got us through the motor assembly.

    Last year we had the violinist for Bob Dylan fiddling about… And a watercolor painter capturing a scene much like this…

    An intrepid group, including my son in the middle here, set up air mattresses and slept under the stars. Satellites and ISS crossings are clearly visible out there.
