Tall grass, weeds, reeds, and ticks, what else could you ask for!?
Are you coming, what are you flying?

I was there yesterday. After removing another Tick from my hip my wife asked me not to return until fall. I had a great day of flying, but lost a rocket in the deep grass after seeing where it fell. The guys at WOOSH couldn't have been more nice or welcoming, soo glad I went to their last launch. I may go to watch but after walking over 3 total miles in 3-4 foot tall grass with holes and an uneven surface I likely won't send anything up. If they mowed the area right next to the Pads it would be fine,Tall grass, weeds, reeds, and ticks, what else could you ask for!?

I was in a head-on collision on June 4th and my Civic was totaled (not my fault) so no more showing up to a launch in my clown-car stuffed full of rocket crap.
I was shamed by my family into buying a more appropriate vehicle that matched my lifestyle of hobbies like guns, rockets, hiking, etc.
I would encourage you all to not try and buy a car at this point in time. Buy a bicycle, skateboard, unicycle, riding lawnmower, anything really that is not a car.

How far out of Burlington are they doing road work?FYI: the construction barricades on 142 came down last night.
Head-on?! Glad you're still here, and in flyable condition! No doubt about the car shopping as well. (Was your Civic "...stuffed full of rocket crap" at the time? I could see a jerk unfamiliar with HPR wet his pants after seeing what he hit!) Hope your new ride is a HD military vehicle - the Idiot Limit out there on the roads is in oversupply.
Every time I post a list of things "I am going to fly," I either end up not going or not flying what I post.
So that being said....
I'm trying to fly what I didn't fly at MMWP........but I am terrified of my Demon 150 landing in a tree!!!
Demon 150 on L2500ST
Wildman Jr DD on a Loki J1000
Madcow Nike-Apache on an I599 to a G138
Maybe a Big Daddy on a big 38mm load or on smaller 29mm load(s)
"Jason's Old Jart" on a J800
Who really knows...

According to 511 WI, they were working from the I west to J. So it looks done.How far out of Burlington are they doing road work?
Thanks for the compliment. I’ve got a couple more scale two stage sounding rockets to go before I get to 3 stages.Head-on?! Glad you're still here, and in flyable condition!

Thanks, too, to Charles McG re. the Hwy. 142 barricades - that's five miles /$1.25 of detour I don't need to waste on my next trip. And Charles: your two-stage flight at the June Bong launch was a thing of absolute beauty!!
The comments about tall grass remind me: does anyone have a source of reasonable, lightweight, loud locator beepers?
there's never been anybody who has laid in a hospital bed and said, "I'm glad I bought that small little car that crumpled up like a pop can". The gas saved by owning a little car is simply not worth it. That's why i owned Suburbans for 30+ years, and they hold everything.I was in a head-on collision on June 4th and my Civic was totaled (not my fault) so no more showing up to a launch in my clown-car stuffed full of rocket crap.

Toyota Tundra TRD? Just dreaming on your behalf... and very glad you came out unscathed.

There's a single curvy portion of hill between my town and one over. When it's snowy or holidayish etc. I tend to go around. I've had people ask if I'm afraid of that route, but it's actually just other drivers that cause me to buy defensively.there's never been anybody who has laid in a hospital bed and said, "I'm glad I bought that small little car that crumpled up like a pop can".

Holy crap Batman!!! At least you're still in the locked and upright position... A head on collision is no minor fender bender. Glad you're still here.

EDIT: Kind of a moot point asking considering its already on Facebook with no reference to who took the photo or provided it for you and others for free.Like always, it was a pleasure to fly with the TWA group. Bong put on its best weather for us, and I even got my rocket out of the tree without breaking anything! Unfortunately, I'm not going to make the next launch - vacation finally after putting it off for the past two years. I'll be back just in time to make it to Airfest. Hope to see a lot of the regular TWA crowd at the rocket pasture!
@rfjustin would you mind if I borrowed a couple of the great photos you took of the Lotus 5 going up and in the tree?
