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!
