Possible Launch Site??
Colliers Mills Wildlife Management Area -> Map Link
I tried to attach panoramic photos but they are too bigger than 5MB.
Map tools say the field about 113 Acres (.18 Sq Miles)
The field is right near the entrance of Success Rd.
There seems to be a shooting range on site but I didn't drive out that far.
Not far from 195 (Great Adventure Exit).
The Possible Bad - Surrounded by Trees, Lakes Near By, Lakehurst runways are right to the South-East, State Buildings nearby
Looks like Lakehurst would be a problem being that it might be less than 5 miles away. Limits us to G78s.

I'd like to check out some of the farms around Screaming Hill Brewery. There appears to be quite a large farm (Bullock Farms) that Screaming Hill is situated on. Might be available winder months? We could also sell them on us having post launch "debriefings" at the brewery (more money intake).
Millstone has plenty of options if you can find an land owner who also enjoys rockets.
More money intake... I don't think we "debrief" that much!! 😆
I wonder, is there some sort of New Jersey farmers blog, message board, FB page, or organization that we can post into? List what we need and what we are looking for, then see if someone raises their hand. I don't suppose farmers have much time for social media though.
There are several granges in the area. I started here: https://newjerseygrange.com/
