I do it in 4 days, stopping at night. Nights around Kansas City, Denver, Salt Lake, Gerlach. It's been a while, the last time I was there was LDRS XIV.I wonder how many daysit would take to drive there. I live near savannah and google says 1 day 19 hours.

We have been getting 150,000 feet for the standing waiver for BALLS, same location.
I think this year we are to get 200k.
That high enough for ya?

Started having anxiety dreams about LDRS already!

Why do I suspect this will be your first LDRS?
Hasnt been this close in years, I'm relativity new to rocketry (3.5yrs), I'm a kid and cant travel easily, I cant go to too many launches out of state...
I think we can all relate -- we've been there, before.
Trust me, you're dead-on to look forward to it. The best part of big launches like that? The people.

The Nevada desert in the middle of summer.....ugh... too HOT!
Umm, what do you mean, "Jean was terribly hot"? Is that a typo, or a Autocorrect mistake? Or is that the name of a city?Jean was terribly hot (and very dry). Black Rock averages in the 80s in June, according to the Black Rock Wiki

Just wondering.

Judging that LDRS is a Tripoli event that shouldn't really matter much. Spectators don't need to be. And if a TRA booth is right next to registration NAR members could sign up and fly.
Considering that Prefectures can take memberships at the field, there's no need for a "TRA booth".
LDRS hosts have taken memberships at the field for years.

There was a discussion at the Tripoli Gerlach meeting of doing LDRS as research for all days.
If that is the case all who launch would need to be a TRA member.
Mark
having an actual booth probably would not be necessary, but having designated prefect(s) available (or on call) for signups at certain times would be helpful, so new members don't have to roam around or interrupt prefects who are busy with other things.
My wife and I are planning to attend this next LDRS because it's the first one to be held in the Southwest since I became active in this hobby. I have a couple of HPR rockets I would like to launch (nothing really large and dangerous) but if it turns into a purely research launch will that still be possible? Being a NAR member might be a problem? [/SIZE][/FONT]
