Use caution. Granite Road, the direct way in, has a large rut in the road that needs to be navigated around. There are orange cones to warn you about the rut. You can bypass it easily to the left (south).

Or, you can come in via Cambria Rd, turn left on ROC Road and right on Granite.  Which is the old way in if you remember. 

The ROC Board is excited to announce that the lakebed is in good condition and we are go for ROCstock.  We will keep an eye on the condition after this current round of rain but it is not expected to do much at the lakebed.  We will post updates if needed.  

Setup will begin Thursday and the range will open Friday morning between 9 and 10am. Discount Rocketry has confirmed they will be in attendance so please show them your support. New membership cards will be available at registration.  Please pick them up as you will need to show it to launch without the daily fee.  Certified flyers will also need to show your current NAR or Tripoli membership card with your certification level at each launch. The weather is looking great for the launch and looking forward to seeing everyone on the playa.

The February 10th launch is officially canceled. See everyone in March.

Just wanted to remind everyone the we are go for launch starting Friday morning and going through Sunday noonish 11/10 – 11/12. Night flights on Saturday and 7,000’ AGL waiver.
Camping is allowed and porta potties will be onsite. For those with RV’s please remember there are no RV’s allowed on the front row as it is a safety issue.

Campfires are allowed in above ground containers and be sure to have your CalFire campfire permit. This is required for any type of open flame including propane stoves. You can get one easily by watching a short video and answer a few questions. Get it here….. https://www.readyforwildfire.org/permits/campfire-permit/

Registration will open about 9am Friday and 8am Saturday and Sunday. There will be a flyers/spectators meeting each morning to go over safety and range procedures. Remember we I’ll also be holding our annual members meeting Saturday evening at 5pm. Discount Rocketry will also be in attendance.
