Update May 24, 2026:
The San Luis Valley Rocketeers are moving sites. LDRS 45 is still on, but we need a time to settle on a new location in the valley. We have three good options. One of them is with our existing landowner at a different location. Option #2 is with another friendly landowner. Option #3 is on public land. The SLVROC used the balance of Memorial Day Weekend to begin touring, measuring, drone-filming and evaluating the sites. Once we have it narrowed down, we will update the community.
