Takeoff description

site has been opened above the road: a wide, easy launch area. Drive all the way up the pass until it begins to flatten off. Turn into the first farm complex on your right. Locate the owners and ask for permission to drive to takeoff- south (towards Ceres) through their orchards along the crest of the spine until you are overlooking the valley again.
