DESCRIPTION

From http://www.karicastle.com/flyingsites.htm This is the famous launch point of many world records that were set years ago! It's a great morning site, and launch is directly off a pull-off on the paved road. It's a cakewalk launch for hangies and a flat slope then off a cliff launch for PG's. Advanced pilots only! Make sure the winds are not out of the west before you fly! It's not a fun ride flying the Sierra's when its blowing over the back!!!
