Take-off description
Take off isn't really developed, but is nice and grassy. There is a trail to hike up to launch. Launch is primarily south but you be could be kited and launched SW as well. Short running area there are tree hazards to avoid. Exact launch location: 39.835017, -123.850025
Getting there
Was able to get out in AWD Audi a4, but truck or AWD suv is best. Road condition isn't great. Use the trail to hike up to launch.
Weather
Best is from the SW I imagine, though I've only ever flown it in light conditions and it wasn't great (didn't stay up). I imagine this could be a coastal soaring site with the right conditions, though getting around the corner for a west wind could be a bit risky.
