    Steve,
    
    There is an excellent page at the Orbital.com site that details where and when to look for lots of spots along the east coast: http://www.orbital.com/NewsInfo/MissionUpdates/MinotaurV/index.shtml 
    
    If you scroll down you'll see renderings of what you can expect to see from places like RIR, the VA Capitol, etc. 
    
    Sadly the max elevation is pretty low (in my case about 13 degrees), but it's still worth looking. In your case it looks like the max elevation will be about 7.5 degrees, and you'll only see it above 5 degrees at L+80 secs or so.
