Commentaires

camp grounds on the take off, bath, call for equipment repair, top landing is easy M - F. usually a driver on weekends, 100 km potential XC flights up the valley. easy hitchhike back. You can live here for a week and never go down the mountain. this is an awesome place3 to fly in the summer, before the typhoon season.
