Tripoli Las Vegas Nevada has had numerous launches at Jean....  Perhaps you could join with them or visit the dry lake on a weekend they are not meeting.  I know some of your members have gone there for launches.

I saw recently that the draconian lockdown edicts from our governor have been overturned... perhaps there is a loosening of the bonds coming soon!!!!  I'm in LA county and the restrictions are less if it's an outdoor event.  My Remote Control Airplane clubs are all flying with a "recommendation" for covering but not a requirement.

    ROC Members,

    The ROC Board has been actively looking into possible ways for us
    to legally host a launch. Like all of you, we want to get back to
    smelling AP and enjoy the camaraderie of our rocket friends. With
    safety being a core value of rocketry, compliance with stated
    rules and regulations are fundamental. The guidance from San
    Bernardino County is that no group gatherings are permitted for
    more than three family households. No obvious exceptions.

    The purpose of this note is to reach out to our membership to see
    if someone has an expertise in this area to help find a way to
    comply with the rules and hold a launch. Should you have some
    ideas please feel free to reach to any one of the current Board
    members and pass along your ideas. In the meantime we will all
    diligently watch the latest guidance provided by the county.
