I’m just trying to gauge interest. Probably looking at some time next year
when we could best coordinate schedules, projects and stuff.

I have never been and would love to go, especially with our own TCC.
Are we talking sometime this, or next year since we have to get the waiver
squared away??

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?
