Hi,
I am getting excited, we are going to drive over to John's favorite fishing spot to see the shuttle launch tonight. We went to Bissit Bay, this is about 30 miles north-east of the launch site. We did some fishing waiting for the 7:55pm launch.
There were a lot of people here and many boats out on the river waiting patiently to see the shuttle. There was a full moon and it was a clear night- perfect conditions. I was talking with some of the people there- they were saying it was really a sight to see the shuttle going up at night....I was so excited about being there.
Finally the time came - over to our right there was a huge yellow/orange glow coming from behind the tree line. then slowly that bright light rose up in the sky- it lit the dark evening sky to almost a daylight brightness.....then came the rumble.....a deep bone vibrating rumble as the shuttle passed up past us...everything shook and May and another dog on the pier got real nervous and started to whine. All of us on the pier let out a collective cry of whoa, as the rumbling over took us!! We stayed and watched until we could now longer see the shuttle.
This was a very awesome experience!!! Take care til we meet again- Love Donna
