We were lucky to recover everything we launched at URRF 3 last weekend, but since this thread has been created to inventory lost rockets at "Potter's field" (sorry for the inadvertent pun...It's not really a rocket graveyard ;-), I thought I'd re-post the info on a rocket we lost ~ a year ago at Potter during LDRS34:
Our Sirius Eradicator (45" long / 3" diameter upper tube section / 30" diameter orange nylon chute)...Rocket is white with red, black, & blue decal accents, and unique grey ring fins integrated into standard white tail fins...Nosecone is grey with a black tip.
Location of this rocket is actually known. It landed in the stand of trees at the south end of the field, just past the road and over the creek, on the property of landowner "B" on the recovery map provided in the URRF3 info pack. Rocket landed ~50' up in the high branches of a tree...Too high to reach with pole saw and extensions. Details of rocket location (including a map) were posted in this thread:

Unfortunately, our thread ran dry after a few replies last July.
We did not get a chance to revisit the tree stand last weekend to see if the rocket was still there, or if it had dropped lower, but as far as we know it's probably still there...If anyone ventures into that stand of trees have a look. Would still like to get what's left of the rocket back at some point.
(So who's this "Squirrel" people mentioned in some of the earlier threads? Sounds like an interesting character!)
If anyone comes across our Sirius Eradicator, and can snag it, let us know. Thanks!
