NASA in the Mojave

Today we drove out into the Mojave Desert to visit the Dryden NASA Flight Research Center. On our way we saw Joshua trees and a whole lot of open space. We have enjoyed spending time in the California sun. Being that we are from western Washington, we had to make a stop to buy sunscreen and sunglasses.
Here is the whole group in front of an F-18.

We got to see NASA's Lunar Landing Research Vehicle (LLRV), which was driven for practice by Neil Armstrong. Tonight we had our last group dinner. Tomorrow we get back on the train and take a 32 hour ride home. Sleeper cars all the way, meals included! We are looking forward to some well earned relaxation after our busy journey.
