Wallops Island Launch 8/22

Will anyone be in attendance at the Wallops island sounding rocket launch on 8/22? My family and I are vacationing in Chincoteague and plan to watch from the visitor center. If so, post or send a DM. About the mission:

Have fun Pete! We watched a Terrier/Malemute launch a few years ago at Wallops - fun stuff! The boilerplate LJ on display at the visitor’s center is neat. Has the Navy opened up their lodging for space available reservations yet? Their Gateway Inn at the SCSC on Wallops is a really nice place to stay.

Well, the launch was scrubbed last night, but tonight it went off nearly on queue. Pretty spectacular to see in person.
