Fellow ROC Members,
A quick reminder: this Saturday (September 10, 2011) is the next ROC Launch.
Projected weather conditions appear to be typical for this time of year. As
usual, the best flying conditions prevail in the morning hours, often
deteriorating due to wind in the afternoon; current forecast is for
southeasterly winds around 10 mph and a mix of sun and clouds. So plan to
arrive and fly early if possible. Portable toilets should be delivered on site
by Friday evening for the convenience of those camping overnight.
Fortunately the very high temperatures of the past week should have moderated
by this weekend. The current forecast calls for high temperatures in the upper
80's and overnight lows in the mid 50's. Be sure to bring (and drink) plenty
of water to avoid dehydration, and wear a hat, sunglasses, and sunblock to
avoid getting burned.
The club trailer should be on-site at about 7:00 AM on Saturday ready to start
setting up the range. We are glad to hear that our ROC friends in the Cajon
Pass area survived the recent brushfire without damage, and there shouldn't be
any problem with travel in the region to access the launch site or transport
the trailer. The more setup help we have, the quicker things will go, and the
sooner we can start launching, so please plan on coming out early to help if
possible!
Overnight camping is allowed as usual, but be sure to keep all campfires in
above-ground containers to comply with BLM rules, and pack your ashes and wood
debris out with you when you leave. Let's always try to leave the playa a
little cleaner than we found it.
Let's fly rockets! We'll see you on the lake bed!
P.S. A last-chance reminder -- If you haven't already, remember to mail in
your ROC election ballot!
