Top of ridge
Getting there
Park at bottom and hike up. Sometimes can take off from parking lot if no cars
Weather
NOAA works best. Prefrontal days are best. ENE wind is best. 15-16mph to 20-25mph is best. Can be too strong at times.
Rules / airspace
Public area so respect hikers, vegetations and beach goers. DO NOT FLY beyond the Oak Creek power plant fence line, clearly seen. Watch out for street lights and traffic as approaching LZ
Comments
Common sense. P2 friendly with good ground handling skills.
