Sandbox for Project X-1A… aka, Hawk’s Heaven!
A big HELLO from the road! And what cool places the road took me. Some nice gentleman was willing to take a shot with me AND my bike…
At this very, very cool place… where they try and prove that one-in-a-billion odds is a pretty good chance for other life in the universe…
