\"ROCK<\/a>Because of excessive rain lately, we have had to scrub the September, 2015,\u00a0ROCK launch<\/a>\u00a0in Oviedo.\u00a0 While the field itself seemed to be\u00a0in okay shape when we checked it, the ditches bordering the site are filled\u00a0with water and the ground under and around the ditches is very muddy.\u00a0 We would not be able to cross them to access the field.<\/p>\n

We have had more rain than usual this year, causing several of our launches to be cancelled.\u00a0 The field that we use at the Barr Street entrance of the Little Econ Trail is low-lying and floods easily.\u00a0 We have been actively looking for a new site for years, but finding an area that we can use which is not too far from Orlando is difficult.\u00a0 So, even though the Barr Street site isn’t perfect, we thank the Little Big Econ State Forest Authorities\u00a0for allowing us to use the field.\u00a0And, we look forward to better conditions for the upcoming October launch!<\/p>\n
