More pics for Brookside

We had a few hours of clearing today so Chris took some more Brookside pics for me. I never mentioned it but in the previous picture (my profile pic) I am standing with White Island in the background. It's about 12 miles away, almost due south of LDB Camp. In another post I had pictures of Mt. Erebus, the active volcano that is 25 miles due north of LDB Camp. It is so due north that we use it's peak to set true north on our wind measuring instrument (anemometer) and our theodolite. Mt. Erebus was steaming a bit today so I thought I would get a pic with it steaming in the background. Back in 1990 it did erupt enough to throw small rocks onto the Williams Field/LDB area. I also have some pics of me on our launch vehicle, "The Boss"...that's the one that was picking up the CREAM payload and the one we'll use when we do the launches.

Go Bulldogs!
