    REI’s frontman,  Ted Gablin, already made one. Havent checked the accuracy though.

    We all got to know Ted from the “race to the brewery” day back in 2019.

    Luke, help me find the part in the closure order where it mentions the airspace closure departing from the boundaries shown at tfr.faa.gov.Screenshot_20241002-200148_Adblock Browser

    I see the order hasnt been clarified by less ambiguous language.

    in reply to: FREE FLIGHT, LAUNCHES CLOSED UNTIL 30 NOV #21010

    It doesnt specify  residents of any specific area. So, i read it to include any and all. Cant read their minds, only what is written.

    Use of USFS lands is what is what is covered by the order. Use of FS lands for launching gliders along with all other uses except accessing private property, are prohibited due to the fact that the launch, or the activity occurs on FS land.

    The order covers only FS property noted in Ex. A, not private property and definitely not airspace.
    <p style=”text-align: left;”>Just sayin. In case the crime and punishment  loyer POleece types start  thinking that seeing a glider in the sky constitutes proof of violating the order.</p>

    Look at the map?

    your links refer 2 different orders with 2 different maps.  ORDER NO. 05-12-00-24-09 is the most recent and more restrictive. The order from Sept 8 had the closure boundary at hwy 18. It is now all the way to I 15.

    in reply to: Pond Access #20708

    maybe the BOD’s crime and punishment committee can meet with their handlers to review the sentence and grant a parole hearing or something. Gene seems to be cured and Max is out of sight.

    This discussion is how one attempts to wring out the facts Jerome. Tom asked a valid question.

    Linda sullies the discussion in her usual fashion by berating the previous board. Secretary says I’m misinformed. Fact of the matter is, the membership is uninformed.

    Im a contractor, so yes a fence is a no brainer. I had a hand in building the shade structure, remember? Maybe before your time.  A long ago conversation with a ranch guy  mentioned a fence around the pond. Maybe its more now. Maybe just another reason to say “we cant”. I dunno. Not much info flowing out these days.

    Seems to me there is more drowning exposure now than ever before. No gate, no fence, no eyes on the path there.  There must be some sort of rationale behind those choices.  Fair enough.
