December 21-23, 2020: Port Isabel, Texas and SpaceX

From Junction we drove to Port Isabel - on the southeast tip of Texas - to meet up with Adam and Tran. Bodhi, our dog, was thrilled to see Adam again. (Roz, named after Roswell NM, contains her excitement.)

We were particularly excited to see the SpaceX SN9 roll out to the launch pad. It moves from its assembly bay to the launch pad using State Highway 4, so we followed behind in a slow procession.

Those two white vans again.

Here is the nose cone of SN8 laying were it recently crash landed!

Once SN9 arrived at the launchpad, they lifted it in place. 

The SpaceX launch facility is at Boca Chica Beach. Adam's dog, Roper had to investigate:

Back in Port Isabel, our campsite was right on the water

We put up some Christmas lights.
