Takeoff description
Two-minute drive off the state highway. Easy takeoff from flat grassy area, and knee-high fence you can step over.
Pilot comments
This is an easy-access, very small ridge with a large flat mown grassy reserve on top that will fill with spectators if an acro pilot beats the air to a pulp above it in a good strong wind. You know you want to. ;)
