Hello ROC Folks:
   The past few weeks have been filled with announcements of changes in plans 
surrounding the saga of our launch site permit.  With the permit now restored, 
we need to get back on track to prepare for the upcoming June ROC-Stock!  
Although we don't normally wait so late to do it, circumstances have required 
us to schedule the regular pre-ROC-Stock work party for the immediately 
preceding weekend.

   On Saturday, June 2, 2012, starting at 9:00 am, we will be holding the 
trailer cleaning event to get everything in ship shape for the launch.  It's a 
great opportunity to give back to the club, and to shoot the bull with all your 
rocket buddies.  In addition to regular maintenance, we'll be doing some 
welding on the trailer and building new model rocket pads.  You'll also have 
the opportunity to join in discussion/planning about the changed location on 
the lakebed of our range under the new BLM permit.  We can use all the help we 
can get, so please put this on your calendar and join the fun!

Bring work gloves and suitable shoes, as well as any tools you think might be 
helpful.  ROC will be providing morning coffee and donuts, as well as pizza and 
salad for lunch.

The location, as always, is the home of Leslie and Scott Mayer, in Oak Hills.  
Their address is:

8828 Kittering Road
Oak Hills, CA 92344

Feel free to bring friends, relatives, and a willingness to lend a hand.  Work 
gloves are encouraged, as we'll be hauling heavy launch equipment in and out of 
the trailer to clean and repair it, and gloves can make that easier.  If you 
have special expertise, such as with electrical repair, welding or machining, 
bring that too!  There is no shortage of deferred maintenance to take care of.

Directions:
============

If you come up the Cajon Pass heading north on Interstate 15, you should
take the highway 395 exit as you get in to Hesperia.  You'll cross over the
freeway, coming to a traffic signal at the Pilot gas station/Newton's
Outpost truck stop.  Make a left at the signal on to Joshua street, and
follow Joshua street one block west to where it ends in a "T" at Caliente
Road.  Turn right on Caliente, and head north one block to where the
pavement ends just before Muscatel street.  Now on the dirt, turn left on
Muscatel.

About 50 feet after turning left on to Muscatel, you'll see that the dirt
road takes a steep drop down a hill into a valley, and up the other side.
Approach with caution, as it's not uncommon for vehicles on this road to
speed down one side and up the other, and you don't want to collide with a
car coming the other way.

Follow Muscatel west down the canyon, and up the other side.  Continue
another six blocks, and turn left on Kittering road.  Leslie and Scott's
place will be the first house on your right after you turn.  The trailer is
in the back, parked next to the garage/workshop.

If you want to avoid the steep drive down into the valley on Muscatel, or
if you're coming southbound on 395 from somewhere to the North, or if you
miss the 395 exit off the 15, and get off on Main Street, instead, there's
an alternate route you can take:

Head West on Phelan Road from 395.  If you're heading northbound on 395
from the 15, you'll be driving straight past the Pilot gas station, and
making a left on Phelan Road, which is the next signal past Joshua Street.
If you're heading southbound on 395, you'll be making a right on to Phelan
Road.  (Phelan Road becomes Main Street if you go the wrong way and head
east towards Interstate 15.  So, if you get off the 15 at Main Street,
simply head west until you pass 395.)

One block west on Phelan Road from 395, just past Los Banos Ave., Phelan
Road goes from two lanes down to one.  The very next street on your left,
just after the lanes merge, is Freemontia Road.  Turn left on Freemontia.
DO NOT TURN ON LOS BANOS -- go one block past Los Banos, and turn left on
Freemontia.

Freemontia becomes a dirt road immediately.  Follow Freemontia south until
it hits Muscatel, and turn right.  The house on the southwest corner of
Freemontia and Muscatel has a giant rooster statue and a windmill in the
front yard, so simply turn right when you see the huge cockerel.  Head
three blocks west on Muscatel, and turn left on to Kittering.  Leslie and
Scott's place will be the first house on your right after you turn.  The
trailer is in the back, parked next to the garage/workshop.

Thanks and see you all there!
