Mile High Mayhem has been WASHED OUT – NO GO for Launch weekend June 5th thru 7th. The prairie has gone from one extreme – dry and tinder – to another - soggy and saturated. To protect and preserve our launch site on the Pawnee National Grassland, NCR has cancelled Mile High Mayhem for 2015. Persistent afternoon thundershowers, current and forecast through the next week and weekend, have kept the access road impassable for the number of anticipated vehicles.
NCR will petition to add an additional day (Friday, July 10th) of flying to our scheduled High Skies in July launch event.
Even CRASH launches have been placed on hold due to the recent flooding in Bear Creek Lake Park. The park closures include their launch site. At this point in time, the only active launch site available is with SCORE, at the Hudson Ranch, located about 9.5 miles west from the Walmart (at Pueblo Blvd. & Hwy. 78) on the Beulah Highway.
Man - this is turning into a damned if you do damned if you don't situation. No enough rain to fly or too much rain and we can't get there.

🙁 The next launch for me will be Aug 8th. Hope to fly. 🙂
I feel your pain Mike. I have finally completed a rocket that pushes to the 35k waiver. I won't be in town for High Skies so it will have to be Oktoberfest. I'm afraid of penciling that in on my calendar because just the mention of flying rockets in October seems to be all that is needed to jinx it.

Rats! How ironic to go from too dry to too wet. I will be out of town for July, so will hope to see all of you in August.

I was also looking forward to a few days on the prairie. Hope we don't dry out too much and they go back to the it's too dry to launch in July.
Rats!
Almost forgot what you look like Mike...
Just got the waiver back for TC so we can launch up there at the end of the month if that makes anyone feel better.
