Moving back 'home' in the Fall, and wonder where the closest HPR/MPR launches to the Austin area are? Thank you!

I joined the Austin Area Rocketry Group ( AARG ) at AARG Home Page at their April Launch.
AARG normally has monthly launches on the first Saturday of the month.
Unfortunately, there is a burn ban so we can't launch at Apache Pass and we're still waiting for the harvest before we can launch at Hutto where the fire hazard is reduced.
I am hoping this will all be OBE by fall.
There are several other 'close-by' clubs that launch on different weekends so if you're able to travel a bit, there is typically a launch every weekend.

In addition to AARG, Tripoli Houston flies from Hearne Airport, about 90 minutes ENE of Austin, on the 2nd Saturday of most months, though not in August or September.
Due to Airfest over Labor Day weekend, the September AARG launch will be on the second Saturday, since there won't be a Hearne launch that day. (Weather and crops permitting, of course.)
