I've attached a few of the pictures from our Dude below.
Looking back, it probably should have been obvious
that the desert thorns and brambles would be an issue
for a rocket made from a balloon. Ah well, live and learn,
we bought it for $6 on Ebay. In the video from the GHS 2006
flight, you can hear someone yelling, "It's gonna pop when
it hits the ground out here! Catch it!!" I still get a chuckle
out of that.

We had fun with the Dude and will fly it yet again (from a
grassy park) as soon as I buy another one.

Happy holidays, Jeff
