This is private property. We have permission to use it for launches only on specific launch dates when sponsored by SLRA. Please do not attempt to launch or otherwise use the fields on other dates or times.
From St. Louis go west on I-70 to St. Peters. Exit to MO Hwy 79 (exit #220) and go north to Elsberry (30 miles). Stop at the first stop sign as you come into the town of Elsberry. At the stop sign look to your right and you will see a Phillips 66 and a Shell service station. Turn right (east) between the Phillips 66 and the Shell station and follow the gravel road across the railroad tracks (CAUTION: THIS IS AN UNGUARDED CROSSING AND TRAINS DO TRAVEL THRU OFTEN). The site is the large plowed field immediately east of the railroad tracks. We'll be set up farther out on the dirt road, toward the middle of the field.
Other info:
Our webpage should be updated from now on. Please check it before heading out (slra ). Any other questions please contact Bruce Weidner or Bill Gast .
We must receive 7 days notice for rockets that exceed 20lbs lift-off weight, 10 ft in length, or will exceed 6000ft. Please contact Bruce.
We can support hybrid flyers but we need to know youre coming in advance.
