Used to live in Lompoc (Vandenburg Village) and if you check a good map, you can find a road that climbs over the hills toward Santa Maria from Lompoc. We used to go up there to watch night launches. Great spot with a great view of the base. The dead end road mentioned earlier goes to Surf Beach but does not have any good view spots of the base. The train ride is excellent as it skirts many launch pads including the never used and now gone shuttle launch pad. (slick 7)??. The old memory is going! During Titan launches my workshop/garage would get trashed as the ground would shake like a strong earthquake.
