This weekend's rocket launch, BattlePark 2003, in Culpeper, Virginia has been cancelled. The heavy rains of the last week prevented the farmer from getting his crops in on time, so we cannot use the field.
No word on when or if there will be a rain date.

This happens sometimes. It's a major PITA for folks making travel plans and taking time off from work, not to mention the financial hit the local hobby shops take from not being on-site all weekend. But it *is* just a hobby, and those crops are the farmer's living. We're disappointed, but our priorities are straight.

But seriously, Ted, I'm sorry for you guys. Good for you for having such a good attitude about it, though.

- - -I'm not familiar with Potomac Mills, but I know where Fredricksburg and Alexandria are. My in-laws live in Bowling Green, south of there.
Well, if there's ever a launch in the Richmond area, let me know. I'd like to watch.
