[RocketsNW] Washington Aerospace February meeting

[Bill Munds]

Carl, Kent, Bryan

At the mention of finding a new launch site I took another look at Andrew's proposed sites.

Skagit County's Parcel search is a wonderful thing!  A bit of a learning curve for extraction speed with maps but in no time I gleaned a wealth of information.
I pulled information for Butler Flats, Lyman, and Chuckanut 2 and 3.  Lyman is up there a ways but seems the best fit.  About 200 acres by one owner.

Second is Butler Flats.  Two brothers own or control about 3/4 of a section.  Few other owners that might not object with recovery efforts.

Chuckanut 2 and 3 are small 'owner areas' with few others to deal with recovery.  Not the best situation, but workable.

I have owner's names and addresses.  I should probably organized the information a bit more if I have time.

We could add this to the agenda for an over view of what information I came up with and then decide how to approach it.

 

Andrew's Google Map he setup made it very easy to stay focused on areas that were encumbered by over flight airspace.

I think I'll try some of the other areas that he posted a well.  Parcel search is getting easier.  It helps to know an owners name before you knock on the door.
