California

The final day of the camping leg of our honeymoon took us out the Sequoias and headed south back towards home, but not before one last stop in the park to capture a panorama.

On June 21, 2004 Julia and I went to the Mojave Airport, near her family's home in the hills above Tehachapi, for a unique chance to see the launch of SpaceShipOne, the first human spaceflight developed and funded entirely in the private sector. It was as reminiscent of a rave as a NASA-nerd event - thousands of people wandering around in the darkness, out in the desert, decked out in glow sticks and strobes, on one of the longest runways in the US.

This trail runs right near the Griffith Observatory, a great place to hike and quickly forget you're in Los Angeles.
