SHADE
None whatsoever. The launch site is a 630+ acre open pasture. Bring your own shade with
you. Quick-erect canopies are highly recommended. The sun can get quite intense, especially in mid-summer. In addition, you
should bring a wide-brim hat and plenty of sunscreen for each person in your party.

are primarily high-power, but usually have some mid power items such as motors, both single use and re-usable, recovery systems,
body tubes, etc. Vendors currently attending most launch days are: Gorilla Rocket Motors AMW/ProX Always Ready Rocketry RocketryZone

TRASH
Please dispose of your trash in a responsible manner. There will be at least 2 trash bags
available for community use. If at all possible do not allow any trash to blow away from your area. If you smoke, do not leave
your butts on the ground. Pick them up and take them with you. The goal is to leave the field as clean or cleaner
than we when arrive. The launch field is in the middle of a working cattle ranch, and we must do our best to leave
the landowner with a good impression of us. Prime, tree-less launch sites are very hard to find in this area, and we do not
want to lose this one to someones carelessness.
