I remember seeing a posting here a few years back about a model 
rocket club that was looking for farmland to launch rockets 
from...can anyone who knows about that group email me?

Or does anyone know a good place to launch within an hour of Durham 
or Cary?  I've launched in the big field next to Erwin Square, but I 
can't believe this is legal within the city limits.  Just sending up 
rockets with my 11 year old, nothing very large, only B and A size 
engines, always with no wind so the rockets don't float too far.

Any other comments on legal restrictions, etc. would be appreciated.
