Yes it is. What Mayhem are we on anyway now? Mayhem one never happened, Mayhem 2 was our the first Mayhem. Oktoberfest went as planned though that year.

I know of 5. So, 8, 9? (Right call, btw, Joe.)

I remember May 2003 being a big launch, but I don't know if it was officially called "Mile-High Mayhem" at that time.

Would not have been many flights today. The wind is
pretty bad. Was within 15 or so miles of the North Site
just a bit ago.

The predicted 21 mph gusts, seem much stronger,

We got some pretty good rain yesterday here in Cheyenne
but it did not look like that area did.

I predict Mayhem 2011 is going to be epic... we've asked for 50K windows and I know of several projects that have been frustrated by the cancellation of Oktoberfest. It can only get better....

is cruel. If we'd only had this rain two weeks ago...

Any chance of getting the 35k waiver for the 11/6 launch (assuming the rain continues!) since we didnt get to use it for octoberfest? I've got my L3 Goose ready to fly (again) and It'll definitely go over 20k so was hoping to not have to wait until MHM to fly it.... thats like 7 months away, I can't wait that long!

50k waiver for MHM? wow that would be AWESOME!

Don't hold your breath for the 50K happening - Denver Center wasn't in favor of the 35K windows we've been provided with - too much air traffic in our neck of the woods. IF we are go for launch in November, there are "windows" available to 35K, depending on the weather and jet stream and air traffic and everything else being what it is.

A buddy of mine who lives in Ault says they have gotten almost no rain whatsoever. There has been a trivial amount in the Windsor area. I'd say if we had a launch this weekend, it'd be doubtful conditions-wise...

A few of us who live up this way (Sean, Elvis, Doug, myself, and or Mike S.) can run out to the N site a few days before the next launch to check conditions.

The takeaway here is that N Colorado hasn't gotten all that much rain. Very, very little, actually...

I will take a drive. (less that 30 minutes away) a week before the launch.

I will post pictures and opinion.

We have received 0.35" rain fall this month. Most last week.

The first in a long time.

Yesturday they were still warning of fire hazard for most
of SE Wyoming.

I will plan on going Monday 11/1 AM.

We can get a lot of moisture the last couple weeks of October,
most often it snows pretty good on or around Halloween.

One can only hope.

The radar is showing a nice-looking band of showers streaming over the launch site now. The Cheyenne radar is estimating over 1" so far.

It has been raining very well here all day. Cool and Wet.

I live about 15 miles due south of the launch area and it is raining pretty good here. Well enough to have puddles on my land. Finally!
