You’re invited to the Black Rock City Rocket Launch in Gerlach, Nevada…
Black Rock is a “dry” lake about 100 miles north of Reno Nevada. It’s very empty country; just about the only town nearby is the town of Gerlach.
About the Black Rock Desert
This coming September 14th, 15th, and 16th, I will be there enjoying the XPRS (Extreme Performance Rocket Ships) launch. XPRS.org
Its 3 days of certified motor launches with an “extreme” emphasis.
Everyday there will be a huge raffle with tons of great prizes, and on Saturday there is a Night Launch from dusk until 11:00pm. I have yet to actually make a night launch, so I’m really looking forward to this one. XPRS Shirt Shop
The Black Rock City Rocket Launch is easy to get to, but a bit tricky to find, so be sure to bring complete driving directions. Getting to Black Rock

Fly Geyser: One of Nevada’s Little Surprises
Just THINK of the rough trade at the Truck Inn! Of course, I’m married, but if I were single it would almost make the trip worthwhile!
I’ll have to put the word out amongst my more adventuress single friends….Does Raul know about this?
Oh, be sure to let Raul now. Something tells me he has a rocket he’d like to launch.
