For the box or rocket?

I have a Estes Levitation that has a layer of 5oz glass on it , still in primer . I will finish the rocket for single deploy and donate a reading altimeter only as well if the group wants . E motors thru H. The rocket will split 18 inches from the base for easier transport.

[Devin Batten]

Quite the trip its turning out to have

 

[jbrracer]

Just throwing around some numbers for kicks.

If I hopped into my car now and stop by all your city's I'd drive about 11,300 miles, My car gets about 30MPG so it would take about 375 gallons of gas and about 170 hours of driving! Thats 7 days! 2362 POUNDS of GAS! Thats nearly the weight of the car I'd be driving!

The longest trip would be from @Devin Batten city back home, 2200 miles! and 31 hours!
The shortest would be from @Wally Ferrer city to @jqavins 300 miles. 6 hours

If i walked at average human pace it would take 3200 hours! that's 134 days. 20 weeks almost.

After all that driving I could be come more planning efficient and decided to do it all over again planning my trip I'd only drive 126hrs 8400 miles.
@jbrracer yells to wife, "honey start the car" lol

Lets take the backroads! Its less miles, but adds 50 hours more of driving! Hopefully its scenic!

So we put in rocketry related stuff like parts or kits and if we see something we might need we can take it, correct?

I tried to make it various, most of us have everything rocket related so having a few items off the beaten path surely won’t hurt anything.

Looks like the traveler has reached @prfesser @dhbarr im sending you a pm for your address!

 

[prfesser]

Box arrived yesterday. Lots of goodies, most but not all rocket-related. The thing I took out isn't.

It goes out again this morning.

 

[neil_w]

Why are folks being coy about what they take out? Once it's out it's not a secret anymore.

mostly it adds to the allure and fun. It lets people’s imagination take hold

 

[dr wogz]

The one I did, I got an airbrush!

 

[prfesser]

The box is now on its way to dhbarr, supposed to arrive Friday. I put in three ziploc bags, each one containing plastic items. ;-)

Best -- Terry

 

[dhbarr]

I got it yesterday morning but haven't had a chance to peek yet -- somehow my kids think their holiday activities are extremely significant, and the missus seems to believe grinding her teeth and not banishing the boys from the house is similarly important.

 

[dhbarr]

Man that was tough, going through all the loot and narrowing it down. Something came out, something else went in.

The most dangerous part, of course, was going through my shop to figure out what to put in.

You know how you're looking for something but then you find a box you haven't seen in a while and isn't that the nosecone for that stubby cluster?

 

[dhbarr]

 

[jbrracer]

unfortunately it looks like the traveler is in the USPS limbo in Oklahoma, Ill keep an eye on it hopefully it starts moving shortly.
