| access | Trans Canada Highway #1 between Sicamous and Kamloops BC. North Okanagan Region. It's easy to get here!! |
| comments | If west winds blow out the Upper (south) launch the lower (north) launch is usually flyable. If here try flying the road, your sure to find thermal at the two little aspen groves to the south. If your up for a flight give me, Ken Steiner, a call. If north or east winds try ridge souring Luke's launch. Landing field can be seen from Luke's launch. Look north east for a big bolder the size of a cabin. From there look directly east to the hay shed roof directly below you. It's the closest building to the hill below you. A tattered windsock is in the northeast corner of the LZ. Happy flights |
