Dove Valley Park in Centennial, Colorado was the site for another launch made by a trio of Colorado Front Range rocketeers; Mike Goss, Dave Bauer, and Brock Wood.
The weather conditions for this outing consisted of temperatures in the low to mid 70s and a slight amount of wind.

Unfortunately, several other members of our Colorado group were unable to attend this launch for various reasons.
Yours Truly Blogger had to sit this one out as well. I had contracted a particularly spirited round of Bronchitis over the weekend. So, instead of launching rockets, I was gazing wistfully out the window, sipping hot ginger/lemon/honey tea, and pounding down the meds!
I gotta wander down off the mountain and launch some rockets with you folks. Looks like a great time. Thanks for posting these photo's.
ReplyDeleteHi, John,

Hi Everyone,
ReplyDeleteDo you have to get a permit in order to shoot a toy rocket off at this Dove Valley Regional Park? Thank you!
Hi,
ReplyDeleteNo permits are required to fly hobby model rockets. Operating model rockets is permitted at Dove Valley Park. The only Parks Department stipulation is that the activity does not adversely interfere with other users of the park. Flying on days when there are no soccer games in progress is best.
I strongly urge that anyone one flying model rockets at the park strictly adhere to the NAR safety code. Copies of the code are included with every model rocket kit and package of engines.
Be responsible, safe, and have fun !!
Thank you for asking.
