Jerome Daoust General MemberThanks for the good work Alan. Let us know if there is a way to help.
Jerome Daoust General MemberCan we setup a fundraiser for a replacement PC, or maybe someone has one not in use ?
Jerome Daoust General MemberInstead of fighting the wind, how about retractable awnings (Amazon search) or a slide-on-wire canopy (Amazon search) ?
Deploy in morning, reel in at sunset. To geek it out, motorize and auto-retract for a given wind speed threshold. You can have a few to cover different sides of the container, maybe a separate one over the BBQ area. If the worst happens, not too expensive to replace.
Downside: An extraordinary dust devil could damage these.
Jerome Daoust General MemberThey are effective and humble people. Thank you!
Jerome Daoust General MemberMarshall is comfortably outside the TFR:

Jerome Daoust General MemberGood to go?
The Forest Service updated their webpage: https://www.fs.usda.gov/main/r5/alert-notices#orders
The restriction on having a campfire and smoking is extended to Oct 15, but the one of interest (access to the forest) seems eliminated.
Jerome Daoust General MemberConfirmed, through Oct 8.

Jerome Daoust General MemberToo funny. Only the older folks (like me) will recognize the Benny Hill style (sped up + quirky music): Example.
Jerome Daoust General MemberIs there anything you can’t do? ;-)
Thank you Alan !
Jerome Daoust General MemberAwesome Alan.
Is it possible for the map’s zoom level not to reset (zoom out to a default) when we switch days?
Jerome Daoust General MemberDecent forecast (no guarantees) for both days this weekend at Soboba.
I will be there today (Saturday) at 3pm, launching around 4pm.
It would be fun to see you there.
Update: It was great. Pilot report.
Jerome Daoust General MemberIt does state in the Regional Order No. 20-07 (link to document): “This Order is effective from September 7, 2020, at 5:00 p.m. Pacific Time, through September 14, 2020. ”
But I’m not seeing the changes to justify the forests reopening now: Less fires to fight? More resources available? Weather less favorable for fire to start or spread? Our government having a change of heart after reading this forum?
Looking forward to improvements and a reopening.
Jerome Daoust General MemberI just called and talked to Jeremy (owner/manager). They are fully open and ready for ya.
See first message at the top for more site info.
Jerome Daoust General MemberThank you for posting a warning about launch closures on the CSS main page. It will help pilots who were planning a visit. It also helped me warn upcoming students of postponed training.
A local alternative: Soboba (<– click the link). I just called and talked to Jeremy (owner/manager). They are fully open and ready for an influx of airtime-horny pilots.
Jerome Daoust General MemberThanks David. To be clear, please state the club’s position on…
- If vehicles are prohibited from using dirt roads to 750/Marshall launches, and if the access gates are closed/locked.
- If 750/Marshall/Crestline launches are not to be used, regardless of vehicle or hiking access. If the club position is “use your judgement” or “it would be a good idea to“, then launches are open and school instruction can proceed.
If there is no clear club position to use the launches or not, the more responsible pilots and schools will avoid using the site, while a reduced number of less responsible pilots and schools, will continue. It is best for pilots and schools to present a uniform response through club leadership, and avoid conflicts between pilots and between schools.
