Recently we went out t' El Mirage Dry Lake Bed, about 2 1/2 hours from LA, and we launched 5 homemade Estes model rockets. My thanks t' Licia, Millie, John, shiver me timbers, Preston, Bryan, Mattia and Filippo for all their help in t' desert. Well, blow me down! We had a blast. Ahoy! Pun intended.
