LUNAR Lost RocketsSince we have been launching at Snow Ranch everyone has had a chance to enjoy the beautiful rolling hills. Unfortunately, those same hills have shown a propensity for eating rockets. In January, it is hard to imagine how a 3 foot blue and white rocket with a 24 inch yellow parachute can get lost in 1 inch tall green grass but it has happened (my rocket actually). A lot of others have joined this rocket, probably carried off by aliens (or the coyotes, whomever gets to it first.) After an appropriate length of time they return and you will find them here.
If you happen to recognize one of these as a long lost creation, check in the lost and found box or contact the club president or the equipment manager to get it back.
Note that after a year in the lost and found box unclaimed rockets are sold at the annual LUNAR auction.

Found: before 12/3/2006 Lost: Unknown Description: I am not sure how anyone could go home and not notice that his shirt was missing but here you go. We also found a selection of hats Saturday, one of which is an X-Prize Cup hat. I tried them all and they are too small for me. |

Found: before 12/3/2006 Lost: Unknown Description: Lastly, we have a packet of pictures. They appear to be from some kind of a summer camp. One picture says Elmer's Camp on it. These were lost several years ago as a roll of film. After going several years with no takers, we had them developed. If you know someone who went to Elmer's Camp 5 to 10 years ago, we might have your pictures. |
