   Agreed. BALLS events are usually held in Black Rock Nevada. The wide   
   open spaces of the desert southwest are your friend.   
      
   You should become of a member of the National Association of Rocketry   
   and if you are serious about this, pursue the high power rocketry   
   certifications they offer.
