Tailgating, and the Drive Home

After the launch was over, the field cleared out. We all hung around until it was almost empty and the sun was setting before heading out to the car. We knew the egress was going to be a madhouse. Even so, the traffic from the lot was choked up. We had lots of food left over from the previous day, so when we got to the car, we simply tail-gated a while waiting for the traffic to finally start moving. We had bread, crackers, and cheese, and some wine while, and chatted. (No worries, our driver had half a glass of wine :).

Finally the traffic in the lot started moving well, and we drove off. The drive back was long, but we had good company. We got back to Pam's place at maybe 10pm or so, unpacked the car, and Joe and Elizabeth headed home.

A great weekend!
