This is the closest I got to STS-134. I got up early the morning of April 29, and headed for Titusville, the launch was scheduled for about 4 that afternoon. I just beat the crowds, arriving before daybreak and finding a nice spot in a small park across the Indian River from Cape Canaveral, about 12 miles away from the pad.  There was a MacDonald's next door, so essential nourishment was close at hand. But the launch was scrubbed around 11, faulty heaters... nuts.  I and about 500,000 other people took a couple of hours to get out of town.
