LDRS 41

[rfjustin]

FYI, my 2023 WI state park sticker arrived today. It was ordered Monday the 16th, so plan on a week or more for the physical sticker to arrive once ordered online. (But for any stragglers who order it last-minute, you can show them the confirmation email if your sticker doesn’t arrive in time.)

Another order data point, I ordered mine January 23rd, received January 30th. If you know you are coming, order them now, its going to be 2023 the rest of the year....

Same, same me.... actually a day faster.

Ordered 24th, received yesterday on 30th. Very efficient, but I'd do it now and not push it during the season.

So... It's Feb. 2th and the LDRS 41 site is being worked on. When do you think people can start registering for LDRS 41? Greg Olson

Also anxious to register as I have made hotel reservations and looking forward to it.

Why are we anxious to register? Is there a limited number of spots available?

I think I was the guinea pig on 2/1 for registration. Registration had gone live Wednesday afternoon on the website when I pulled it up, so I filled out my information and it asked for payment info. I never received a follow-up email, and my card has not been charged 48hrs later. I think we need to give them some time to work on the website and get everything working properly. We/they have plenty of time.

schneijt has the reason I'm asking. Yes I know it's all volunteers, My year is getting busy, just trying to make sure I'm getting signed up for the various rocket launches for this season. LDRS 41, Mini Midwest Power, ThunderStruck, and the launch in Michigan at Three Oaks (Dave), etc. I'm willing to wait, just asking for my own info. Greg Olson

Got quite a bit of travel coming up and will have limited time to devote to this. Just wanted to get it done now while I have a relatively quiet window.

https://ldrs41.com/ has been down since yesterday. Am I looking at the correct site?

Yes. They seem to have taken it down to work on the register process, and probably other things at the same time.

FYI, I highly recommend using trackers at Bong. By July, the vegetation is tall and green, and there are a nice variety of recovery hazards. Trees, swamps, prairie, marshes, thickets, drainage ditches, and just outside the park, corn fields.

At least the apple trees are short enough to reach the top with a ladder.

+1 on the tracker recommendation. A bit of history... Bong originally was cleared and leveled to be an Air Force interceptor base in the cold war. When construction was abandoned, the state took it over as a wilderness area. Every year there are more trees, bigger trees, and closer trees. Compare these vintage photos to the current Google Earth satellite view. It really isn't very far to the tree line, so windage is important. There is a lot of water, too. So we lose a few. But it's close and flat, and we get to fly year round (more frequently than waiting for crops to be harvested here in corn country).

I just tried registering and the only payment option I was given was to pay by check.

Are there any alternative payment options, or do I need to figure out where my checks are?

Just heard back from the LDRS organizers - website glitch, which they have since fixed.
