I recall a night launch at Lucern. A very clear night with stars everywhere and the moon rising over the mountains, as I recovered my rockets.Here at the rocket range on Lucerne Dry lakebed, there is a large abundance of a plant well known among visitors to the lakebed. Better known as "dirt", dirt can be found on nearly every surface of the lakebed. The smooth tan surface of the dirt results a beautiful, picturesque scenery, very popular among photographers who all have a common love for rocketry. During the rainy season, the dirt can morph colors, and change into a beautiful shade of darker brown.

In all seriousness though, we do have beautiful sunsets and the mountains in the distance make for a beautiful scenery. Not much in the way of plant life though except for the various clusters of rocket (and trash; don't release your mylar balloons!!!!) eating bushes.
corn.. and grass.. And among the grasses we have a few milkweed plants, bulrushes in the ditches, and other assorted wildflowers flowers n such
Those cactus flowers are beautiful.What kind of plant life or scenery have you seen while chasing down your rockets.

Cool avatar. I'm probably one of the few who knows where it came from.We have a dreadful assortment of glossy buckthorn, multiflora rose, canadian thistle, poison ivy, poison hemlock, wild parsnip, teasel, and a host of other invasive plants the local "conservationists" seem very keen on preserving.
