The weather is looking mixed on Friday and Saturday, so be prepared for that, and the BLM has released new guidelines for land users during the annual summer fire bans that went into effect this past Monday. The new rules this year include charcoal in the banned fire types. The usual rules about not driving through or parking on sage, grass, etc still apply. Remember that while we don’t launch on BLM land, we are adjacent to it, recover from it, and many of us will end up traveling through some while attending the launch, we also choose to follow their guidelines on site as well. Since they have initiated the summer fire ban early, that means no sparkies at this launch.
On the positive side: NO FIGHTER WING ACTIVITIES ALL WEEKEND!
Range setup will start Thursday morning, and we can start flying as soon as it’s ready. We will have the opportunity for night flights Friday and Saturday, contact a board member if you have a night flight you’d like to do. Jack Caynon will be the Launch Director, and David Armstrong the site RSO. Volunteers are needed for LCO and FSO as usual.
We will have NXRS bumper stickers available for purchase again this year for $5. And there are still a number of yard sale items left from the in person meeting this winter that will be available. Remember that registration is preferred to be online, not on site.
See you in the sage!
