This site is easy to get to put the access road is rough but accessible with most vehicles if you drive slowly and don't mind potholes. The windmills are enjoyable to watch and also aid in showing the wind direction to help with flying (when they are operational]. If you start sinking out, had directly to LZ. There are two switchbacks for emergency landings Long as you're comfortable with spot landing. Several pilots have waited too long and ended up with a wing in the trees.
