BLM permit states that we keep the entire active range on BLM land so avoid
moving North (towards Cambria Road) with the setup. Where we’ve been lately is
good, but we should continue to try to stay on the BLM square. We could
probably drift another 200 feet South and stay on the square. Of course, we
recover rockets on non-BLM land all the time but that’s OK for Lucerne Dry Lake.
Have fun! I’ll be at a relative’s Graduation in San Diego for the weekend so
I’ll miss out.

Richard,
Will miss seeing you there.
By my estimates, that would give about 34.4955°N 116.9595°W. I think the
updated RocStock layout meshes well with what you are saying.

I will not be going to ROCstock this time. The range has moved a bit South
since the original GPS coord. I would suggest looking on Google Earth, go
about 1500’ West of the access road running North-South, and then look for
the less-traveled access road that is South of the range. Recently, some
people have been using this road from the highway to the site. I suggest the
safety zone be placed about 350’ North of this access road. It’s important
that the back pads are not placed too close to the main access road, and
someone needs to check if there will be large/complex projects. If so, these
need to be an appropriate distance from the spectator area and any launch
control leads shouldn’t cross the main access roads otherwise they will get
damaged. Hopefully, this all makes sense.
I would also suggest strongly discouraging splinter groups setting up along
the main access road in the old area. Any groups not that are not a part of
ROCstock should be at the far West end of the lakebed.

James and I hope to arrive at the lakebed late Wednesday/early Thursday to do
some preliminary range setup (and preliminary flying!) Hoping/praying for 4
days of FANTASTIC weather!
Question for BoD/Dierking: What are the GPS coords of the rangehead you'd
like to use for the RocStock range setup? Also coords for the porta-potties
so we can tell the guy when he delivers? (these may be different from monthly
launches)
A friendly challenge from Mike Riss was 41 launches for RocStock 41. (We did
35 at RocStock 35, but only 33 at RS37 and 20 at RS39, due to weather). We
have 51 flights (so far) booked, including 14 high power and the Punisher
drag race.
What's everyone else bringing?
We also plan to do a 2-4 hour stint at LCO Friday and Saturday.
Looking forward to seeing you all there.
