Overcast at times, nice temperatures in June, Skidmarks in California, Frank Kosdon legal again. What was going on?! Hats off to the board and all the volunteers for a fantastic launch. Find some of my photos from ROCstock 29 after the jump, including lots of Ms, Skids, Greens, Reds, and an L3 flight.

I would have brought back more photos, but my camera battery turned four this month and decided that it didn’t like to hold a charge any more. Thanks to Ken Brown for letting me borrow a pack on Saturday, but unfortunately I got in exactly one picture on Sunday before mine bit the dust — hard. Regardless, here’s a few pictures of the action, biased towards my own flights (two Mojave Greens and the venerable Arcas lighting a red motor). There’s also pics of a L3 shot, Greg Lyzenga’s Thumper painted to look like a carrot, and Tim Scott’s all-carbon Butt Ugly Phoenix on a K550W, with the appropriate flame-to-rocket ratio.
