Would the farmers mind if we had a Porta Potty up at the launch area? I know theres more to this than just doing it.I was just thinking,what it would cost to have one brought in to the launch site for a day.? Man I hate that walk when the time comes.

That's something we're going to consider for next year. I think they'll let us do it because we tried it a few years ago. The big questions is if it's cheap enough that we won't have to raise launch fees to cover the expense.

We looked into it at one point for one event or another and the cost was pretty high. We generally have a shuttle car running on demand to the parking lot (thank you Bob and Guy :cheer: ). One thing we could look into for this year is the Port-A-Lets that are there now; they are rented by the soccer leagues and were removed before our final launch last year. It might be worth asking the league how much it would be to keep at least one there for 19 Nov or if they could direct us to the company directly to extend the usage.

Yes, thank you to the Shuttle Pilots. I dont mind the walk in after unloading, cuz I been in the rig for 140 or so miles anywhoo. Like I say,something to look into. Got some snow up here last night. Might have to bring the snowmachines to the launch.......

Last time we rented a porta-pot it was $100, that was about 5 years ago for NEMROC in Amesbury. Most of the fee is delivery and pick up charges. I think its more cost effective per day if you rent it for a longer period of time, but a one-day rental is going to be over $100 in 2011 dollars. -Alan
