Hey Folks,
Launch details are on the website.
The launch is really simple, bring your rockets and launch pad & equipment
and I will run the FAA waiver for you.
We will have a generator.
We will have Porta-potties if someone will pick-up and return the
Portaportties in Reno.
I will be there along with our other members. This is an excellent chance
to fly some big stuff in God's gift to Rocket launch sites - Blackrock! If
you've never been to Blackrock, this is a perfect chance to learn to
navigate and get around there.
You will only have to pay $20 for the whole weekend including BLM permit
($15 donation to the club, $5 to BLM).
Best call Brunos if you have no camping plans and book a room now: (775)
557-2220
We will have a LOT of fun and meet at the launch site every morning at 9AM
till whenever!
Oh yes, rules - there are no rules other than the golden rule (do unto
others) and be in compliance with the Tripoli
safety code and local ordinances.
PS, We don't have generator and light Nazis either so if you want to crank
your music and
party all night you can do that too :-)
Thanks,
-James

Hey Folks,
Can I get a final tally of everyone who wants to come launch @Blackrock
4th of July weekend (4th of JuPlaya)?
At this point, we're good to go; we have the BLM permit, FAA Waiver
and hopefully those who go will be locked and loaded now ...
Let me know, we will plan accordingly.
Thanks!

to do that while getting all of the love and help
from your fellow TCC fliers!!!
