I'm wondering how they recover the rockets? Interesting gathering- thanks for the report!

Wonderful report, that really looks like a good group and a good time. Dexter (Dog of the Desert) looked like he was enjoying it, too.

The rockets have a two stage parachute system that they said was fired at different altitudes. A small chute fires when it's at apogee and lets if fall relatively fast and as it gets closer to the ground, as second, larger chute deploys so you can track it down with your naked eye.

Looks like a great way to spend a holiday weekend! Dexter looks like he really enjoyed himself also. Thanks for sharing your story!
