LAUNCH SITE

The launch site is only for scheduled launches. It should not be used at any other times.


 Launch Site

 The 4CRA launch site is located about three miles south west of the Angel Peak area.

Our site is on BLM land and we have a Special Recreational Permit for use.
DO NOT DRIVE OFFROAD
WALK FROM THE ROAD TO RETRIEVE ROCKETS
DO NOT LITTER, NO FIREWORKS
DO NOT HASSLE CATTLE OR WILDLIFE

FAILURE TO BEHAVE PROPERLY CAN GET YOU BANNED FROM FLYING AND FUTURE EVENTS
 

The site is located at:
36°30'35.1"N 107°49'27.3"W (
 36.50975, -107.82425 )

 The recommended route to the site is:
Go first to this waypoint: >> Angel Peak Turnoff <<
And then on to the launch site from there: >> Rattlesnake <<
 

 Note that the roads can be sandy or muddy and rutted due to weather conditions and gas well truck use in the area.
A 4WD or other high clearance vehicle is strongly recommended.
A 2WD vehicle might get stuck in the mud (when wet) or sand (when dry).

 There are two other entrances to the dirt roads to access the site, but the blue line (route from link above) has a left turn lane off of HW550 when coming from the north.

The other two entrances have no left turn lane from the north so they can be dangerous if you approach from the north and then stopped for oncoming traffic while in the fast lane to turn left onto the dirt roads.

Approaching from the south is not as bad, but 4CRA does not evaluate those routes when checking on road status.

The Google route above should take you to an entrance to the BLM land that has a cattle guard which can be more easily crossed enroute to the site.
