Okay, I'll ask him
Hijack over.....How about that shuttle?

West of the 60 brought me to a rise that turned out to be the edge of the lake. Thats not to say that I missed a drop somewhere, but.....

Sig looks fabulous! Charles just called and asked about it.

There's gotta be something we missed. I'll have to make sure I have a marker with me next time we go

Take your reel with you and do a patterened search from the platform. Worst to worst take a stick and poke in the grass.. whats to say its not grown over the hole?

Incidentally, Sunday it was about 18" higher than normal and very very warm. 87 surface, 86 at 60'.

I look up in the sky and see a dot moving along... There goes the Space Station! Previous experience and having known what the return plans for the Shuttle were I hollered at my wife to come wave at the passing Astronauts above and about 5 minutes after the ISS disappeared into the horizon we hear 'Booom.. Boom.." as the Space Shuttle passed by overhead on its landing track towards Kennedy Space Center.

I see them go up, hear them come home.. sometimes even get to see them pass overhead.. Today I was reminded why living in Florida is sometimes so very cool.

Thank the good Lord, at least the astronauts are home safe & sound. I was flying over FL when they took off. The plane's nose was pointed towards Cape Canaveral, so only the pilots got to see the lift off (darn). We did get to see the smoke trail left about 10 min. later (still very cool). I can garauntee you that a lot more goes on down there than up here in KY.

That sounds like what I used to see when I lived in Daytona Beach... we are truely blessed to have the Space Center so close to where we live.
