General MemberAwesome! Thanks Mario.
David Webb
General MemberBig thanks Tim and Gene!
Maybe if someone has a couple of hours and a metal detector (or a super powerful magnet) they could sweep the parking lot with it?
David Webb
General MemberThat’s great news, Alan. Appreciate your follow-up.

General MemberAdding Tim’s items from the other thread:
As long as weโre doing it, cover the entire concrete slab area, kitchen area included. Maybe pour the missing southeast corner as well. The missing northeast corner is steep enough that leaving it as grass is probably okay.
Bring the eaves of the structure down to possibly 8 feet from 10. Having some slope on the roof will make it drain. The flat roof dripped for a long time after a rain. Lower eaves will give shade earlier in the day.
Build it with welded steel trusses. Possibly concrete or masonry columns. I suspect part of the issue here was rot at the base of the wooden posts. Iโll have to get out there and look. One turning loose would be all it took.
Extend the roof on the west side, and have a vertical plywood wall on the edge of the slope. Put in some hammocks or shelves to hold PGs and harnesses out of the wind and sun. That will leave more space for people on the east, social side of the container. It will also cover up the ugly infrastructure side of the container, and shade the A/C unit.

General MemberI propose a more visible area to post the approach pattern and site guideline posters (someplace thatโs hard to miss and not blocked by seating or pilots hanging out). I think because of the benches they were getting missed by visitors not wanting to push through a group of people sitting on the benches.
Also, blackjack table and full bar.

Hereโs a peek at the afternoon Marshall was having yesterday.

General MemberRequest: for any of you that might be onsite assisting with the cleanup, would you keep an eye out for the AJX weather station? Itโs a small gray box with a solar panel on the front. Picture here:
Its still sending data, so it would be good to ascertain if itโs still in good working order (one less thing to buy in the rebuilding effort). Last seen attached to a small mast on a tripod that was mounted to the roof. If you find it, please put it in a safe place and shoot me an email at info@crestlinesoaring.org to let me know where it is. Once we get ahold of it I can work with the vendor to test its functionality and then get it remounted.
Thanks in advance!

General MemberI saw that earlier today, but didnโt know how to read that, since on this other page, it says that only 3 national forests were reopened (not SB):

I also tried calling the various phone numbers on their site today to try to get a status, but couldnโt get a human. If anyone has a real contact in the Forest Service, it might be good to politely inquire about the status of San Bernardino.
I would wait until later this evening to see if the closure was extended. The last few times, it was released around 9PM, so if we get to 10PM tonight with no extension, Iโd hope weโre good to go. Fingers and toes crossed.
David Webb
General MemberThis is the worst thread ever.
