Because of excessive rain lately, we have had to scrub the September, 2015, ROCK launch in Oviedo.  While the field itself seemed to be in okay shape when we checked it, the ditches bordering the site are filled with water and the ground under and around the ditches is very muddy.  We would not be able to cross them to access the field.

We have had more rain than usual this year, causing several of our launches to be cancelled.  The field that we use at the Barr Street entrance of the Little Econ Trail is low-lying and floods easily.  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.  So, even though the Barr Street site isn’t perfect, we thank the Little Big Econ State Forest Authorities for allowing us to use the field. And, we look forward to better conditions for the upcoming October launch!
