Known Hazards
Public area. Respect that! Benches, tall antenna, barb wire fence are to be avoided at all costs at take off. People and dogs hike around or sit on the benches to observe. Common sense. Kind "understanding"granted by the property owners at bottom but do not abuse that. LZ beyond the houses and avoid flying low over them. Park at p lot at base, preferably at corner lots. Wind sock at LZ is paramount. Must be P2 and familiar with low hill and ridge flying. No P1 and sled run practices recommended. Strong wind place needing excellent ground handling play!
No hazard reports. This spot appears to be clear!
No upcoming meetups at this spot.
