Yes, we have plenty of dust in Barstow...
Although with the prevailing winds 29 Palms is more likely...

from Terry yet, and understand the many possible reasons for his
request.Lucerne Dry Lake is a special place for many of us. I’ve even
considered asking for my ashes to be sprinkled at the lakebed. But, the place
is so darn dusty already and I would probably just end up in Barstow.

He is a member of a club in Arizona. He can fly high power there, so no need
to go to FAR.
He specifically said he wants to fly at Lucerne, his "all-time favorite launch
site" -- which he started doing 45 years ago.
Maybe someone in his group has a health concern and wants to avoid crowds.
Maybe he's in a position to "create a memory" and doesn't want some of the
situations encountered at an organized launch, like lines.
Maybe that weekend is his only available window to do this.
Guess I should have worked harder to get licensed.

What an interesting post. Particularly because of Terry’s job. I wonder why
he doesn’t want to just go to the August ROC launch, after all, the weather is
probably not going to be any different. Or, FAR; that launch is just the next
weekend.
Curious if anyone knows Terry. I’m interested in helping and wouldn’t ask for
any compensation, but I’m not sure about the need for a special launch.
What do others think about this? Has anyone already contacted him?
Thank you,Richard Dierking
