Very clear here in Reno right now. Hopefully it’ll clear on the playa by
tomorrow.

good news and bad. Jim just arrived on the playa next to BM site. He said
no winds.....but socked in with smoke. That seems to change so hopefully
it'll be clear when everyone arrives.

Hi all, I'm looking at the Perry fire link William sent and right now no
closures are noted so we should be good. See you all about 4 to 5PM on
the Playa!
Be sure to bring your Playa access placard. You can download from
Aeropac.org.

NOTE - I'm at a rocket launch in Nevada from 8/2 - 8/5 so email replies
may be delayed.

Just a heads up that there is a possibility that SR-447 will be closed due
to the Perry Fire burning on the SW side of Pyramid Lake during the next
week. It depends on which way it goes and when the firefighters get
containment. Go here for current info:

Hi Everyone, Aeronaut is getting close! Looks like the usual warm
weather so be prepared for some heat. And it looks like we have the key
volunteers needed for towing out the trailer, and getting potty out to
the site. There are a lot of other volunteer slots needed so please sign
up to help! Here is the link:
http://aeropac.org/launchduty.pl?action=show&aeronaut=X
Be sure to follow the proper route to the launch site. Burning Man will
start setup and will not let you go through there space. IMPORTANT: Be
sure to print and display the Access Permit in case the BLM or BM people
stop you and ask where you are headed. The path form the 12 mile
entrance out to the site cuts through there permit area. You can
download and print the access permit from the Aeropac website. Or I have
attached it.
I'm going to try and be out there by 4:30PM or so. If it's crazy hot we
may just dump the equipment at the proper locations and do the rest of
the range setup Friday morning when it is cooler. We'll see how it goes
and how may people we have Thursday.

Hi Everybody, Aeronaut starts in one week! Setup is next Thursday, the
launch days are Friday through Sunday. We need volunteers to setup and
volunteer to help with the launch. You can signup here:
http://aeropac.org/launchduty.pl?action=show&aeronaut=X
Also a few key volunteer positions missing are:
1 - A volunteer to pull out and back the PortoPotty. No potty, no launch!
2 - Also I need someone to help me get the equipment trailer out to the
launch site. Even if you can't pull out the heavy trailer I can do that
and I could use help with someone pulling my little equipment trailer.
Contact me if you can help in some way. I plan to be at Empire around
4PM.
3 - We have many other volunteer positions missing. So sign up for
something!
So the next part is very important this year regarding the Burning Man
setup and security.
Due to Burning Man having an exclusive restricted access for Black Rock
playa starting August 1 and the security zone extending across the west
side access road, BM and the BLM require all participants in AeroPAC
rocket launches print and post this Access Permit (attached) on a visible
area on their vehicle(s) (windshield). They also require that all members
coming out to the launch to follow the designated path as outlined in the
“Finding the launch site” PDF. I have attached the needed documents to
this email. Be sure to use the 12 mi entrance out onto the Playa and
follow the weigh weight points out onto the playa using the west side
road. Do not cut straight across to the site since that takes you into
the BM fenced area! If you are stopped show the BLM person (or
proxy)show them the access permit.
