I've lived in several different apartments in and around Cocoa Beach, back

the '60s, when the place was cool and you could drive on the beach.

I would have liked to have seen it back then.
My first visit was during the Challenger recovery and while it was quieter
than it is now, it was still pretty busy. Moved to the area in 1988 and
bought an old house on the Indian River for 90k. Times have changed...


Good investment though. Are you south of Titusville? We spent a lot
of time over there last summer trying to catch a shuttle launch.
Finally got to see the night launch from the Titusville dock.

We would drive out to the office, US Coast and Geodetic Survey headquarters, and
climb up on the roof to watch the launchings. Lots of fun until I got my draft
notice!
