Vendors: I have not heard that Mike Gentile with BAR will be out, I am checking. I'll be there for Fruity Chutes so I will have parachutes and other recovery gear. I believe Carl or Gary with Aerotech will be out. If anyone else is coming as a vendor let me know. I would plan to bring your own motors and supplies anyway depending on who can make it out.
Temperature for the weekend is looking really good right now with 90's as the high, and lows in the 60's. Winds look moderate as well and right now are under 10mph for pretty much the whole launch. This is about as ideal as you can get!! I'm not sure about the smoke, but I think it's better than last year which was really bad. Anyone know?
One new thing is the BLM has asked that "gray water", like you would use to wash with, is NOT dumped on the playa. So bring an extra container to take out and grey water. If the water is clean enough to drink then no problem.
Jim, do you have anything else to add or correct?
Getting There: Here is a link to the Aeropac Finding the Launch Site webpage:
The launch GPS location will be at or very close to: 40 52.241'N 119 6.417'W
I'll try to get out there around 4PM Thursday. Depending on the arrival of people we may setup Thursday, or Friday morning if we don't have enough people out there.
See everyone soon!!
