[Az-Geocaching] things not to do in the Fog

I and Alex slept in today (1-1-5)and I thought a new year and a FTF would be cool, but none were nearby. The fog outside was interesting so we decided to launch some of our rockets into the unknown, it was a BLAST in more than one way, when the rocket would take off we could see about 75 feet of it's mostly vertical trajectory, it would disappear into the fog, after a couple of seconds we would then hear the secondary blast from the engine deploying the recovery system, that would give us a idea of where the rocket would land, so we would wait and watch for anysign of a rocket coming down, then poof there it was floating just yards above the grass. Sometimes standing under it twisting in conjunction with the falling rocket, this was all good and dandy until you either tried to catch the rocket or walk back..  
All the rockets made if safely back except the experimental 2 stage rocket, that was the only rocket that we could watch the entire flight, as it left the launch pad it did all sorts of twists and turns before the second engine was to ignite. Standing there with the fear that one of the patterns of this outta control rocket, would hit me, was kinda cool, but I noticed Alex didn't share my same feelings until the rocket finally crashing to the ground and the second stage engine was dislodged and the flight was over, that any movement from Alex was noticed.
