Our esteemed President – James- brought up the prospect of our club
members making the trek to Blackrock to conduct it’s own “balls”
(note the lower case “b”) launch some time in the future. I just
wanted to get a sense of how many people in our club would be
interested in making the trek. I’m guessing about a third of us have
made the trip many times and some have never been. I cannot begin to
describe the experience of being at Blackrock. It’s like the old
west, Indian reservations, antelope, crazy open spaces, rental cars
going 100+ mph for miles at a time, bizarre rock formations, volcanic
hot springs, people taking risks with their rockets they wouldn’t
ever do anywhere else (Shawn knows what I’m talking about...), stars
seemingly so close you can see the milky way from one horizon to the
other, eerie silence, potentially hostile weather and of course the
clearest visibility imaginable. I’ve only been 20 times or so, but I
never get tired of going. Making the trip with a bunch of TCC
members would be so cool! In addition, the only hotel – and a must
see anyway – Bruno's, can get booked solid during Balls (I’m still on
the wait list), but we could book a weekend where it would look like
more of a ghost town than it already is.
At this time, I’m just resonating with James’ energy about a bunch of
us doing this! I know I have an N3400 skid that needs that place!
Heck, if there’s enough interest, maybe a group project really would
need to be considered? Just saying.........
What kind of interest is there among us?
