News from the Field

New Security Gate (Duane Wright):

 

New_Gate_small.jpg

A new road barrier has been installed on the road leading up to our flying site. Two 6x6 posts were placed as reflected in photo (at right). A chain was also installed, along with a padlock, which uses the same combination as the main gate.

 

This work was performed by the following volunteers - Charles Cherry, Bob Badger, Jerry Sharp, and myself.  The weather was great, with pleasant company, and the work went very well. 


In order for this new barrier to be effective, the last person to leave the field must put this gate back up, as well as lock the main gate.  The wooden barrier that we were using (closer to the field) is no longer needed.  

 

Thank you for your cooperation and assistance!
