Some of us beer been known to drive a day and a half each way for a waiver like that.

For a 100K or even 50K waiver, I’d drive 5 hours… at least as soon as I have a bird finished for that altitude.W

Well, I haven’t given up on our current sites quite yet.Nor have I. The hours that I have spent camping there and looking for rockets have made me appreciate that land in ways that I never expected. I’d love to…   Read more»

Warren,Those folks up at Chugwater wanted a standing waiver to 100,00 feet.Unfortunately Chugwater is under a major East to West transcontenental corridor. The Air Traffic manager that deals with waivers said he would be willing to allow a pre-scheduled one…   Read more»

Think SE or NW Colorado on Grasslands or BLM land. Somewhere on the web I saw a map with all the major air traffic corridors in the Continental US – that’s the map you want to read between the lines…   Read more»

Well, I haven’t given up on our current sites quite yet. NCR’s track record with the USFS has been outstanding and very pro-active. I have a hard time thinking we’ve come to a deadend. However, new launch sites are always…   Read more»

I could probably take care of the 50k waiver needs, but we would have to call ourselves the SE Colorado Rocketry club. My accountant has a several K acre family ranch in SE CO. I’m not so interested in a…   Read more»

In thinking about it, we would need permission for 9 contiguous sections with the launch site in the middle in order to have our 25K waiver. Of course an ideal 50K waiver would probably require 16 sections and possibly more.W

Thanks, that gives me something to work with.

A section is a square mile – 640 acres. Currently we have a waiver to a certain altitude, but it also presupposes a certain diameter circle with no house or buildings and no road above a certain traffic level. Our…   Read more»

I want to thank the person that found my Little Dog “Charlie” and showed him the way home. I also want to thank Joe for giving “Charlie” a ride home. Thanks guy!I also would like to know were it was…   Read more»

Oh sure, cut and paste and make me look like a dork. LOLThanks. Much less confusing this way. 😛

I should add a comment to expand on what Joe said – there are only 3 elected positions open to all members – President, Tripoli Prefect and Tripoli Secretary. All other executive committee positions are filled at the discretion of…   Read more»

I am definitely interested.There is a lot of info out there (on the web) on this, not all of it that accurate.

I’m certainly open to passing the contest director role on – particularly if I take over TRA Prefect. A little new energy would be a good thing and the more folks we have step up to the plate, the easier…   Read more»

Thank you for reviving an old thread. Yes, Contest Director is sort of an appointed position. Time ago it was really whomever wanted to organize and run a contest – not really a formal or official position. As the club…   Read more»

Sorry, guys, can’t make it. Still trying to get over this virus going around… thought I could, but not a good idea.

Great work Mark!Tomorrow is going to be MUCH more enjoyable.Hey, did you guys see the wagon train vacations thing below it? That sounds pretty interesting….
