Saturday Rocket Launch

The previous Thursday was a regular old CAP meeting...except for a little twist. We all arrived, and formed up and signed in. After formation, we set up two tables in the middle of the room, unknowing of what was happening next. The commander brought out a bunch of plastic bags with model rockets in them. We all built and designed our rockets, and then headed home.

Then on Saturday, we all met up at the CAP building to carpool over to the Tama River together. After we got to the Tama River, we set up all the necessary equipment and found the right spot to launch the rockets. We all did rock paper scissors on who would go first. We all got to launch our rockets twice, despite the fact that two rockets ended up downstream (recovered by C/MSgt McKinley). No one got sunburned or eaten alive by mosquitoes so we all had a fun day launching rockets at the Tama River.
