"The Search for D"Artangan"

Please bow your head in a moment of silence for D'Artangan.  As you can see from the map on the right. We traveled over 150 sq. miles searching for the rocket with no sightings.

We were very disappointed. This rocket ship was either found by someone, or is laying in between rocks.

Well it appears that D'Artangan II is on the drawing board.

May she rest in Peace. 

The only fun we had is Eric Gates got two jumps out the helicopter onto the dry lake! Check out the pics on the right.

No wonder the Gates's chutes open properly!

The highlighted areas are our treks up and down the valley.
