    Thats pretty neat, Manheim is exactly 80 miles for me which is the exact same distance to MDRA. Its nice to have choices!!! Reference to NEPRA, I joined just after (unbeknownst to me) it went belly up. I often wondered where the dues money went?

    From what I was told by the then president of the club, all remaining funds were donated to the NAR for the BATF lawsuit.

    Yep, that would be what's locally called the Nicholson Bridge, although the proper name is Tunkhannock Viaduct.

    If that in fact is where it went, I'm satisfied.

    Has anyone heard anything about when the first launch might be at the new location?
