James:

Found a picture... hard to tell the color, but it's purple.  The "Eggscape
Velocity" logo is in black, so it's hard to see here.

A lot of rockets from our launches have second or third lives. Likely it will
be back to you when a farm hand come across it.

Thanks for hosting such a great launch!   Not the best of luck this year, but
the company was awesome, especially the pot luck.  Totally epic!

Below is a map of where my "Eggscape Velocity" night rocket landed... in the
field that was completely flooded.   Apparently it landed pretty close to one
of the roads, but we couldn't go that way on Saturday night because the road
was flooded along with the field.   I found out what happens when that dry clay
soil gets wet... it's like a layer of glue a foot thick.  I fell flat of my a$$
after taking one step... so going 600' to get it was just not going to happen.

If one of you gets a chance next launch to see if it's there, I'd appreciate
it.   If you find it, let me know, it's a purple 2.6" rocket with a white nose
cone, natural fiberglass payload bay, and a white chute that was apparently too
big for the conditions Saturday night.   I'll pick it up at October Skies... it
should be pretty easy to get going again.

Thanks again!
