Plowshare bailout LZ is officially closed

[John Hesch]

We were out there this weekend and I noticed that all of the "double" fencing has been removed. There are Fish and Game "plates" fixed to some of the fences that enclose the land conservancy parcels. They are located mainly at the corners of the fencing and are lime/yellow. The "big" lz was clear of cattle, but I landed in the next one to the east. When we came back by, late in the evening, there were cattle in the field that I landed in, so Lew may have hit it on the nose that the land has been leased back for grazing. Anyway, when I was breaking down earlier in the day, there were no cattle, but a truck drove into the property on a road close to me and I wasn't approached for whatever that is worth. I would suggest checking the fields for cattle prior to driving to launch if that is possible and using the ones that are empty. Printing a copy of the map found at the link I provided earlier, and checking it as you drive the highway would be a good way to familiarize yourself with the available lz's.
