Contact local pilots before flying. LZ visible from launch. Strong west surface winds possible, may cause turbulence due to thermal shearing, large near-surface wind gradient.

Requires a drive up, 2WD all the way. Open grassy slope in west-facing bowl. Soaring potential along south-facing ridge, west-facing Sugar Hill to southeast. Cow pasture; land *west* of north-south dirt track parallel to creek. East-side field not currently approved for landing. Parking along main road in cleared area, don't block mailboxes.

Marine air can condense rapidly in front of launch creating white-out conditions. Strong thermals possible during summer, prevailing northerly summer winds may be thermal blocked up launch slope but create rotor turbulence aloft.
