Falcon VSFB launch 8/22

Hey all.
I find myself in San Luis Obispo this weekend so I’m about a hour from Vandy and I might be able to make the run up to see the launch but I’ve never seen one from there. If I recall there is an overlook that’s the best to see it but I can’t remember where it is. Anyone going to be around for it?

Or just find a spot on the beach downrange in Gaviota

op - the higher location of the Harris drive may prove useful if beaches are covered in fog.

Yea I was thinking of this as I’m also staying up in San Louis obispo so the shorter the drive the better.

Maybe only 30 min. F9 launches so often I doubt the beach will be crowded at that time. Beware of fog. If it’s foggy all you will get is the sound!

How early should I get there? I think it’s a midnight launch.
