49 years ago today...the launch of Apollo 11 and the trip to the moon

From along the coast north or west (north by Hwy 101 standards west by compass) of Goleta/Santa Barbara might be a good spot. There could be some good spots on Hwy 154 between Santa Barbara and Santa Ynez on the SB side of San Marcos Pass. I never thought of that vantage point until just now. Both without having to go all the way to Lompoc. From the southern boundary of VAFB to the Gaviota State Beach is all private property, 2 bigass ranches with a little county park Jalama Beach in between. They run everybody out of Jalama when a launch is scheduled and close access to the area from Hwy 1. Funny, AMTRAK rides past ALL the launch complexes at VAFB, within a half mile of SLCs 4 & 6.
