Comments
It is impossible to reach any viable LZ to the west (or SW) of launch without violating the very busy southern approach to LMT airport. Kingsley Field Air Traffic Control Manager has asked that people NOT fly this site because of this. Ignoring that request is not only hazardous, it will negatively impact a strong working relationship with Kingsley ATC re our Hogs Back hike-and-fly site in the basin.
