If you’re into four-wheeling, there is a dirt road that comes out of Fernley
that parallels 447. It comes into Jungo road at Frog Ponds.

We may need some alternate routs to Gerlach. Do people have ideas? And we
need the porto-potty there and taking that on a wild detour is not the best.
For the equipment trailer it is in Empire so that should not be a problem
getting it.
Let's hope the fire does not cause a closure. Or we can wait it out?
Ideas?

How long is Jungo Road, going from Hwy 80 to, say, Trego Hot Springs? I'd
assume it's drivable by a normal car, but also assume it's a washboard
nightmare (like Frog Pond to 447.)

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:

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.
