Finally arrived in Huntsville, Alabama at around 2 a.m. Saturday
morning. The Friday evening flight out of Minneapolis was delayed
for over 2 hours because--get this--they couldn't locate the flight crew.
Northworst eventually had to fly in an aircrew
from Boseman, Montana, to take the flight. How's that for a
completely screwed-up airline?
Anyway, the flight to Nashville, Tennessee was uneventful, and the
two-hour drive to Huntsville was boring.
These somewhat boring images were taken yesterday (Saturday):

Outside my friend's house in Madison, which is a 'burb of
Huntsville.

On University Ave., which is one of the main thoroughfares leading
into Huntsville. No shortage of shopping malls here!

Just outside the US Space Flight Center. There's a museum and IMAX
theater there, and we'll be visiting the place later today.

A close-up of one of the mightly Saturn V boosters, preserved at
the Space Flight Center.

Driving on I-565 towards Huntsville.

The foothills of the Appalachians.
More images to come...
