I was there. Somewhere in that crowd, probably in the last few rows, is an orange VW bus. My girlfriend, now wife, and a friend of ours made a stoned decision the afternoon before to just drive out there and watch it happen. Had no idea how big the crowd would be once we got there. There wasn’t really much to see of the actual touchdown because, as I remember it, they had to move it to a different runway at the last minute. But, as we were waiting for hours to actually get out of there, a 747 took off with a different shuttle mounted on its back and made a few circles overhead before heading to Florida. A pretty cool 4th of July.
