   And why not - Mojave is such a garden spot afterall :) I'm just glad   
   they opened the parking lot early, I suspect it made things go much   
   more smoothly.  It also made it possible to be at the fence (even with   
   the CAP guys doggedly trying to maintain that 3 foot clearance :) at   
   the south end of the viewing area - I wonder if they have a zoomed   
   image of the crowd :)   
      
   I was surprised that as many people left immediately after touchdown   
   as did - having waited as long as most had, had they waited 20 minutes   
   more they'd have gotten to see "the sign" being held-up.
