Picked up camp and moved up the road a little further. A little closer to Daytona Beach and the exact place we need to be to catch the SpaceX Falcon 9 Launch of Dragon cargo capsule carrying supplies to ISS on March 6th.
Love the area Titusville, FL. Nice restaurants and people so far.
I am excited to check out the Windover Archaeological Site here. Just my kind of stuff for an Archaeological Buff. Windover Pond is one of a number of sites in Florida excavated since 1970 that have led to a major reassessment of the Archaic period in Florida. It is stated that Windover has provided "unprecedented and dramatic" information about early Archaic people in Florida, and that the Windover site may be "one of the most significant archaeological sites ever excavated." The site was designated a National Historical Landmark in 1987 in recognition of this significance find in the bog or pond cemetery of hunter-gatherers, people who lived hunting game and gathering vegetable material between about 8120-6990 years ago. The burials were staked down in the soft mud of the pond, and over the years at least 168 people were buried there, men, women, and children.
This Nerd in me is ecstatic to experience this while I'm traveling the state.
Back to your regular scheduled programming...
