Even better DIRECTIONS

The Albuquerque Rocket Society launch site is 1 mile west of Progress and Rainbow in Rio Rancho.

Here are the directions to the site:
From Rio Rancho, go West on Northern Blvd to Unser Blvd.

Turn Right on Unser and go north to King [past Paseo Del Vulcan].

Turn Left on King and go west through the development. At Rainbow there is a stop sign and the pavement ends. Proceed another 1.1 mile West on King to Sheba. The street sign was down; it is a Right turn just below the crest of the rise.

Turn Right on Sheba and go north across the arroyo [see map]. The arroyo is quite reasonable, if it is not you are probably on the wrong cross street and should take a street to the west of the one you are on. Sheba makes two bends to the left after the arroyo. At the end of the 2nd bend turn Right [now north] on 8th Street. This sign was also down. The launch site is at the T intersection on the north side.

Parking for TITD is on the SW corner,
