Thank you Wedge. I'll check into this. BTW: Don't worry, I'm not going to
store them in the trailer :-) Richard Date: Mon, 5 Dec 2011 12:57:15 -0800

Maybe you could just bring an album of your photos? I'm sure others would
enjoy seeing them to.

I'll have to look through my collection of prints and scan some of those. I go
back to the first Rocstock in June of '95.

Thanks Kurt; yes, there's some I haven't seen before, including a photo of the
ROC flag. I saw a photo a couple years ago with Rick O'neil and a couple other
people holding rockets and looking bad-a. Haven't seen that photo again and I
was wondering where it was posted.
Anyway, the old group shots are cool. We should get more group shots at
ROCstocks.

Thank you Ron! and BTW, I enjoy learning about ROC history. I'm going OT
here, but I think there's photos somewhere of the first ROC launches and
ROCstocks. Do you have some of these or know who does?

Richard,
It is for sure minimum 12 ft. long perhaps longer. If you need longer my pad
that I carry with me is Uber Pad #1 and it has a 14ft. 5/16in rail. The ROC
Uber Pad is actually designated GB Uber Pad #2 meaning: Gate's Brothers Uber
Pad #2. It was originally built by me for the Gate's Brothers for our first
LDRS that ROC hosted back in 2001? They then donated it to the club which was
very smart on their part because they then didn't have to haul it out to
monthly launch's. I personally kept the rail in possession because the club at
that time didn't have a trailer large enough to transport it and I would bring
it out to the launch's. It became the clubs when they purchased the trailer
that they have now and I built the storage for it and the other equipment.
Enough History,
Ron McGough

Allen thought ROC had a 12' long 5/16" rail. I just want to assure that there
will be a long enough rail. Is it 6' or 12" or something in between?
