Starship Station: Closest Starbase RV Lot R-02

Welcome to all the new followers! Purging pipes on testing today.
For new folks that don’t know how long I’ve been bring you views check this out.

This is exactly where our homesite was. Where the X is was pretty close to the back door. Palms are in the very same location as mr BocaChica’s commercial shop was, with a breezeway between house and shop. The rocket is about where the horseshoe paved driveway was with a straight gravel driveway that lead up to shop.
Hoppy was built right out our bedroom window and went through our front yard when they moved him down to the early crud launch site.
We still have the fishing camp (called Starship Station), on Tarpon Bend. SpaceX has developed most lots into exec housing. We share camp lot with our Media contacts and hold reservations for launch viewing, testing observations and airBnB dry camping.

But progress is so fast these days I don’t do the work that once was when I first started photo journaling. It is still an exciting future for the area and SpaceX. Thanks for checking in.

Breaking camp after an exciting time with old and new friends at the Starship Station. Tents, Campers, cars, they all enjoyed Flt 11s blast off and some even screened with excitement from the rocket thrusting upward! It is the closest you can get!! Very powerful experience.
