Hi guys,
Were did I put that tent? hehe, sounds like it is going to be a great rocket fun. Chad, glad to hear the contest is still open, I’m your huckleberry! Hopefully…I’m set, for my Alphabet action, so you two watch out! Four Kestral K300 shots, WOOT! I predict 24,655′ for mine. Good luck everyone!
Contingency Plan
I am pulling the trailer to the launch.
Last time, even in the mud I had NO problem backing
up to the trailer and getting it to the site.
I could not get the trailer back in its regular place
upon returning it (MUD). And it may still be there.
Anyway. Could one of You Rocketeers who has a four wheel
drive , that is going to the July launch and can tow the trailer
please PM me Your phone number.
I do not expect a problem but with the rain We have received
in the area the last week and what is expected this afternoon,
and with no real dry time, better safe then sorry.
I just want to be prepaired, In case I can not back up to the trailer.
thanks Mike
The trailer remains parked where left upon return from the June event. County Rd 122 should be mostly in good shape. County Rd 45 has a few spots that are dicey but should still be passable if given the chance to dry out a little.
Mike and Bear need to coordinate – I’ve sent PM’s to both. Afternoon thundershowers have been more like monsoons, depending upon which 20% chance of percipitation you’ve been under.
Bear is doing the towing
6900′ even 6200′ wow, Bear, that would be impressive for the length of bird. Good Luck! see you there.
Hey there, just checking to see if there will be a Porta-Potty onsite for this launch?
Yes a Port-a-Pottie has been ordered up for delivery Friday evening for the campers.
We are Good to Go with our scheduled and approved launch on Saturday April 5th and Sunday April 6th, from the North Site, subject to change – Mostly cloudy and High Winds predicted. Range and waiver should be active by 9AM on Saturday. The Pawnee National Grassland remains fragile and dry, so extra precautions are in order. Please stay on the authorized roads and please don’t park more than 100’ off the road at the flight line.
